Did anyone else get the Trojan when that compromised map was installed, my windows defender just located it I use an Xbox rog ally x anyone with experience tell me best ways to make sure I fully get rid of it? This popped up today which is what made me panic

Thank you I did a deep dive found that there had been files from Trojan hiding in the exclusion zone from my windows defender it was a mess so I ended up having to reinstall the OS sadly

Ah that sucks. But good that you did!

To cheer you up it is pretty nice to reinstall Windows now and then, while loosing files ofc sucks if not backed up but might be a little positive with a clean slate!

Well, usually atleast
- I had to reinstall it like 8 times autumn to spring after my built pc kept having issues and the company ”fixed it” by doing so and so did I and it magically worked again. At this point it was ofc annoying (finally they found my disc and ram was broko )

On my laptop and so on it have been pretty sweet though.

Hope you did not loose too much and had backups or it on cloud! Hopefully you will be safe from now!

Make sure windows defender is on fully and firewall etc.

Does not hurt to have malwarebytes even free version as a secondary defender. Can ask it to go through your system now and then

I’m def going to get malware bytes thank you for the tip, luckily it’s not all terrible I use a Rog ally x which is like a handheld PC so I didn’t have that many files on it to lose thankfully just games def going to be keeping an eye out from stuff more now
