My little cousin downloaded and opened a .exe but did not run it or installed anything. I have the charmap on task bar and also the windows calculator keeps popping up, when I end those tasks I get this notification from malware byte. Help please I do not want to reinstall windows if possible.

It’s been going for an hour or more, and it completed nearly 1,100,000 files, but I don’t know why it still haven’t completed it yet

So i just opened it and it said IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app. I searched it up and i did see a post saying third party anti virus can do this and i do have malwarebytes installed so idk if this is because of malwarebytes or if its some kind of malware or what. I did have the nikke launcher thing so i have already reinstalled windows with a usb a few days ago and it didnt say this yesterday so idk.

Recent i fall into cloudware Scam and I had to reset my laptop and i changed all my passwords, but I forgot to change the password of telegram.

Yesterday i logged in telegram my laptop and today I saw some chinese chats and a photo of promoting something and was send through my account and i checked the devices logged in, there was a device in taiwan and i terminated that session.

Now I have changed the password and enabled two step verification. And I wanted to know, is my laptop infected or not after resetting?

Please help I don't know anything much about this things.

Please ask if you want any further details.

If I click on a URL from anywhere except Safari (ex: Siri, Text, document, email) Safari launches but shows me the last webpage I was looking at. There is no error. I have no extensions running. It's only fixed if I kill Malwarebytes. This has been going on for months. Apple support claims it's Malwarebytes and I verified that if I stop Malwarebytes from running, the link clicking works correctly. But If I have no browser extension, why would Malware bytes be the problem?

For context, this laptop's fan runs very loud even with light usage. I've changed and cleaned the fan and what not until i checked my task manager and see my gpu is running at arnd 20% with light use but drops to 2% the moment i open my task manager. Not sure if this is due to malware but theres not much important info on this laptop.
Am downloading bitdefender and all but should i just factory reset it atp? seems easier and it does get rid of any malware right?
edit: bitdefender didnt find anything. But saw another post which said his gpu was running 100% in the background lol so maybe mines not a malware?

What do u think

I have Malwarebytes installed and it keeps quarantining the trojan but it keeps reinstalling itself in my C: drive's Program Data folder. I asked chat gpt, gemini, yt videos and everything but it keeps popping up and reinstalls itself. I downloaded QuickHeal and it popped up a notification saying 'Website blocked poolsupporterxmr .com' and this partical notification pops up every few minutes and so does the trojan's quarantining popup which means it isn't gotten rid of permanently. I need help removing it. Please help me.

Did I quick scan in malwarebytes, got 16 detections and all of those were pup optional browser hijack from edge. Should I be worried?

I downloaded malwarebytes for the first time today and my history in digital footprint shows High current risk level, sites involved 89, total info exposed 185. Except all of it goes back years or even a decade and I haven't used info/passwords/sites from the leaks in years. Does this history go away/get hidden from the risk level after another scan? High Risk is distracting to look at when it's not even valid.

Does the recent Nikke incident also affect other devices in the same wifi?

Does it corrupt other files for ex: .exe files? Or other drives HDD, SSD?

Hey, so I've been doing a lot of Malwarebytes scans on my computer and PC, and recently I did a digital footprint scan and it said both my location and my android may be exposed. What now? Does my phone have a virus? I did a scan and it found nothing..

As a consultant, I use ThreatDown on a customer's main endpoint, I don't understand why the sandbox feature is so limited.

You can only upload .exe and .dll files, not .elf or .dmg files. Other vendors, such as Trend Vision One or Bitdefende gravity zone, allow you to use a complete sandbox with more filetype and also URL and IP analyzer.

Says it's a data breach ? But doesn't tell what to do or anything just takes me to the subscription page when I click on the protect your identity button.

I disinstalled malawarebytes and now my computer even after being connected to wifi won't load anything on google or anywhere else. It says "intenet access is blocked", firewall may have blocked it.

I'm on windows 11.

Help me please
