RAT Trojan removal help?
Hi everyone,
My name is Bravey, and I’m looking for some advice because I’m pretty worried about a possible malware infection.
A few friends and I were making a Minecraft video, and we wanted to use the FapCraft mod. We found a website called fapcraftx.com and downloaded what we thought was the mod. All four of us downloaded the file, but I’m the only one who actually placed the JAR into my Minecraft mods folder and launched Minecraft with it through Modrinth.
When I launched the game, the mod showed up as an “Unknown” mod instead of displaying a normal name. It also didn’t seem to work correctly. Later, one of my friends checked the file with a Java malware scanner (I’m not sure exactly which one), and it reportedly detected something called “WeeDHack.” That’s when I started worrying that I may have run malware.
As soon as I found out, I took several steps:
Logged out of most of my important accounts.
Changed the passwords on the important accounts I could access immediately.
I haven’t changed the password to my main email yet because I don’t currently have access to the phone used for two-factor authentication. However, I did change the password to my backup email, which I use for account recovery.
Ran a full Microsoft Defender scan. It ran for around 8 hours. It cleaned up some files but never fully completed because I had to restart my computer.
Ran Malwarebytes afterward, which detected around 57-87 threats (I don’t remember the exact number). I quarantined/removed everything it found.
Ran a second Malwarebytes scan afterward, and it came back clean.
Since then, I haven’t noticed any suspicious logins, unauthorized account activity, or strange behavior on my PC. That said, I also haven’t really been using the computer because I’ve been afraid to.
My questions are:
Based on everything I’ve done, is there anything else I should do?
Is it possible that I’m still infected even though Malwarebytes is now clean?
Should I consider reinstalling Windows just to be safe?
Are there any logs or scan results I should upload that would help determine whether I’m actually infected?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
