Disinfection Help Am I cooked?

Post image

I mistyped a URL and even though the site looked sketchy af i was being stupid and accidentally downloaded something. Malwarebytes blocked the site right after and the download says it was cancelled by chrome (as seen in the image). Task manager looks fine, malware bytes and windows defender was clear, so do i need to reinstall windows or something or am i good?

Of course unless you run a program there’s no way they can do anything just delete it off your system and you’ll be good
