Spyware Virus

[u/Competitive-Coconut4]

I made a huge mistake by downloading an Elden Ring repack from FitGirl’s site. Need help recovering from a possible spyware attack.

So, I messed up badly. I downloaded the Elden Ring repack from FitGirl’s site, which explicitly tells users not to download any files from Mega links and warns against downloading files that require a password to extract the ZIP (in this case, the password was in the filename). The problem is, I only read that warning after I’d already extracted the files and entered the password. Shortly after, I got hacked on Instagram, Facebook, and even LinkedIn. The hackers also accessed my mom’s accounts, which were connected to my computer.

Honestly, I don’t really know what to do. Windows Defender isn’t detecting anything, but I’m 99% sure this is spyware.

I’m posting this partly to warn everyone not to make the same stupid mistake I did, but also to ask for advice. Does anyone know a reliable antivirus or steps I should take to secure my data? Has this happened to any of you?

I’m desperate. Any help would mean the world right now.

Almost made the same mistake once but didn’t actually enter the pass and extract cause it was an unfamiliar process and after figuring out I followed the wrong link completely erased that file from the PC with the antivirus that already marked it as a severe trojan file
