Downloaded a Trojan Virus—what should I do now?
I downloaded a suspicious link from the internet in attempt to download things for the Sims 4, very, very stupid of me.
So, I used both the Windows Security Manager and Malwarebytes to scan my laptop over and over and over, obsessively, and get rid of the virus. Malwarebytes told me it was a Trojan virus in particular. After that, I re-installed windows, but now I’m just completely wiping the computer, just in case. When I re-installed windows, I ran the Windows Security scan a few times over again, and everything came up clean. McAfee also showed no signs of the Trojan.
From what Malwarebytes initially showed me, I think the virus was accessing my google account information—so I changed the passwords to absolutely everything, and added 2FA to every account I could. I also changed some bank info and shut off my card, just in case. I should be somewhat okay now, right? Is there anything else I should do? I’m not very tech-savvy; I was doing some reading and people were saying to re-install windows with a usb stick, but I don’t have another windows device to do that with, and it all sounded very complicated. I’m nervous!!
