Can Trojans also transfer deleted files to the Internet? (For example, if a trojan that the antivirus program did not recognize was already on it, you had files on your laptop when the Internet was switched off, then deleted them or loaded them back onto a USB and only then switched the Internet on again).

I would recommend you to shape the PC bypassed and not just once. Files are only "deleted" after x formatting. Files will never be permanently deleted, but it will be harder to find them back.

Start Windows Task Manager.

Applications. Processes. Services. Performance… NETWORK.

there you see the traffic. When you are on one side. And all the time what is uploaded… Or downloaded… Without you on the PC. Clicking. Or load… Then you have virus.

do a Windows update… In windows Defender. Microsoft will then notify your system with error messages. Then everything is restored.

I did not notice any suspicious activity on the old laptop, but I once received a message from the anti-virus program Avira Antivirus (real-time protection) that it blocked something that was also removed. I just don't know what that was. So I only had files on my laptop when the internet was turned off. I recently sorted out or deleted the files on my laptop. Then I ran a scan with Microsoft Security Essential - found nothing. Then I bought from Mcafee Internet Security, uninstalled the other program and made another scan - found nothing. Nevertheless, I'm still unsure if there could be anything there and am considering whether I should run another scan with another program.

Forget the internet and live your life, go on trips and maybe you fly to Turkey on vacation and can see the right Trojan horse.

It is not impossible. Deleted files are not completely gone immediately, they are only deleted from the table of contents and their place is marked as reusable. Information is only overwritten when this space is needed again. This released but not yet overwritten storage space can be read out and brought onto the Internet, ifnmn is allowed to send data to the Internet at all.

However, it is quite difficult to guess where the hidden data is in the moose places.
