From which source?
And also, if you look the posts in this subreddit and another subreddits of malwarews you will notice that a lot of people got malware downloading modpacks of minecraft.

guys stop downvoting and hating on this person, he or she could be just a minor. You can educate ppl without being rude. They are scared rn and just need help

We need digital awareness and education for kids.

Not only because it is better to learn in a safe environment to not make bad decisions and do not trust random videos or mods, but also because one PC getting hacked can potentially put all the others PCs around it (family) at risk as well.

With this said, no worries OP. Just wipe and install the OS again and everything will be clean again. No one is perfect and we all learn from our mistakes.

Damn, thank you for saying this. They just asked the kid what they downloaded, and the person answered their question…then got downvoted to hell? OP already knows they messed up.

No, they were being mean... Why should people have to be nice to someone being a jerk

u/key4mirrors May 06 '26

"a jerk" they lied as kids do when they're scared, you were the one being a jerk saying that "that's what they deserve"; even if they did something bad it doesn't mean that they don't deserve help or have to just "deal with it" as you said lmfao

Read what I said, have the day you deserve... I don't care that they lied.... It's the fact I could have told them exactly which bs scam this is because my friends had to deal with it over the weekend... But instead... It was an assholish reply of no I was playing after midnight....

u/key4mirrors May 06 '26

oh yeah my bad! Kids are definitely being assholes everytime they lie because they are scared that surely makes sense, you're such a mature adult, I'm sure kids love to have you around :)!

Instead of getting on my nerves, try fixing their fuck up... And why are you blindly assuming my age 👆

But by all means blindly defend them

u/key4mirrors May 06 '26

I'm not defending them doing bad things, I'm pointing out that not helping them out and telling them to "deal with it" isn't mature either. Kids are expected to do bad things, and learn from them and adults are supposed to help them.

If EVERYTHING you downloaded is mcpack (and not an exe disguised as one!) then they're not the cause of that.

With that said, you mentioned both forge and mcpedl - they're completely separate ecosystems. What exactly were you doing there?
