Malware
A bit horrified but hoping it's not crazy bad. So i was on YouTube and typed a comment. I looked away for a few seconds to think and looked back. Then noticed an extra sentence at the bottom that was about to type something bad about a group of people. Don't want the hacker googling anything so will keep it vague. I erased it and was very confused. I was thinking some form of autocorrect or some random feature from Windows typed it but as i was just staring st the screen dumbfounded it suddenly typed another offensive word. At that point I finally realized what was going on, erased the word, disconnected from the internet and turned off the laptop.
Somethings that might help. I use edge because I'm lazy and chrome was having known bugs with my graphics card when I first got the laptop. Outside of that the main things I use this laptop for are playing games on Steam and YouTube. In terms of the cause of the virus, the 3 most notable things I've done today on the laptop is YouTube, bought, downloaded and played a Chinese game from steam, and downloaded Bannerlord and some mods from the steam workshop. The bannerlord thing was about 20ish minutes before the YouTube incident but the Chinese game is pretty sketchy yet from earlier in the day (it's an early access indie game made by 1 guy who seems pretty active in the community he built with maybe a thousand sales at most. Good reviews though). After some research, I'm starting to think it's the bannerlord mods.
I just don't know how far I need to go or how bad/how long I've even been infected. Do I just reset the laptop? Like the full reset or just the partial windows reset? Doing that would be at worst annoying for me since there's little useful data on that laptop. Or just a virus check with windows defender and uninstall the mods and the Chinese game (also get that refund). Could it just be a small part of edge or youtube that somehow got compromised and it's just a weird bot?
Sorry I'm a bit all over the place in my head.
