hey,

a few days ago I was made aware, that some kind of Mr. Beast crypto scam was sent form my Discord account to all my friends. I think that was after I foolishly downloaded a program from the internet and using the installer.exe included. In retrospect that may have been very stupid of me.

I tried removing it with various antiviruses but I still get messages from Microsoft Defender from some folder named "Temp". I found some posts on this subreddit regarding similar problems and to their advice I changed all my passwords from a different device, so far there have been no other account uses, that I've noticed. It was also recomended, that I ask for help seperately in my own post.

I hope someone can help me, get rid of this problem. I'm oanicking a bit, because I never was in such a situation and with finals coming up in my country, I dont really have time to worry about this filthy trick.

Thank you for reading, please help if you can!
