Hey guys,
I’m stuck in a weird spot and need to know if I’ve been hit by malware or if I just messed up using Revo Uninstaller. I was downloading some plugins earlier and cleaned some games off my pc, and after restarting my PC, I noticed all of my osu songs and data gone and my chrome and other apps were completely signed out. It looks like my AppData was wiped and some of my local settings were reset to zero.
I noticed multiple Chrome processes running in Task Manager even when I closed the browser, and they were locking several .tmp files in my Local folder. I immediately cut the Wi-Fi and ran a Windows Defender Offline scan, but it came back clean with no threats found. I did use Revo earlier to clear out some games and used the advanced scan, so I’m wondering if I accidentally nuked my own registry and app data or if this is legit malware.
What are the best indicators to check for an infection while I'm still offline? I’m a student with a lot of music projects and schoolwork on here, so I need to know if a System Restore is enough or if I need to just wipe the whole drive and start over. Any advice on whether Revo could even cause this kind of total logout would be huge.
