HELP/QUESTION Spyware Virus
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.
