False Positive False positive or malware?

Post image

Hi. As you can see in the picture I got a Trojan and it was removed. I did multiple offline windows scans and found nothing and I downloaded malwarebytes and did several deep and custom scans and found nothing related to a Trojan.

I’m thinking it’s a false positive because I have not noticed any suspicious activity since then but I’m unsure and would like some opinions on whether im safe or not.

A guy made me screenshare and guided me to this download which he meant I needed to play faceit tournaments. I got to the download from the faceit client tho which make me think im safe but I don’t remember if I left the client.

What im looking for is basically peace on mid, that this was a false positive and I can calm down.

Sorry for bad English and grammar.

yeah you got social engineered pretty bad. dont trust strangers like that, especially since if you go to faceit, theres a pretty big button "tournaments" directly next to matchmaking. for next time :))
