Disinfection Help Renpy installer infologger

Downloaded it. Ran it. Deleted it after 5 minutes after I realised what was happening.

Posting around 6 hours after it happened, nothing has happened to my PC or accounts yet, not even a security warning.

Changed all my passwords and ran several malwarebytes and windows defender offline scans to identify and remove all found instances of the virus. Removed the rootkit from my PC, is there still a chance I am infected?

Some posts recommend reinstalling my OS but i am not too keen on it yet.

Did you change your passwords on another computer?

If not, they still have access to them, reinstall ASAP

Good good.

Reinstall after backing up your files, only way to be safe

In the worst case scenario, if my accounts still get compromised after, what should I do

u/CorbyTheSkullie 1d ago

Yes, all sessions to be safe.

As for the USB, get the media creation tool off of Microsoft’s website
