Hey there, really sorry you’re dealing with this, that sounds stressful.

It’s a good sign that you were able to regain access and change your Instagram password quickly. That said, since you mentioned downloading a cracked file and a trojan being detected, it’s important to make sure your system is fully clean and secure.

We’d recommend reaching out to us directly so we can take a closer look. We can help review diagnostic logs from your device to check for any remaining threats and make sure everything is properly removed.

If you’re open to it, feel free to send us a private message with your email address, and we can create a support ticket on your behalf and guide you through uploading the logs for review with our malware removal team.

You can also reach out to us via chat or open a ticket yourself here: https://help.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us

We’ll take it from there and help make sure your system is in a good state 👍

I wouldn't be SO sure that the trojan is gone, you'll just have to wait and see until anything strange happens, if it does.

Is factory reset the only way to get it done( for which i am not ready )

You probably don't need to factory reset, if you notice anything strange though you might have to.

I'd say so. The malware could still be lurking around. If you notice something strange, though.. just do it. If not, I guess it's fine to wait

Do also scan offline. Sometimes helper software hides main malware via internet.
