Got a windows security alert that there was a severe threat on my pc. When I looked at it, it was a file with trojan in the title. Very spooky. When I let windows security run the necessary actions, it did another scan and then three such files showed up. I told windows security to delete them, ran another scan twice and it hasn’t found any new threat. Am I good or should I take further action?
I downloaded something I have used in the past. A file recovery program called testdisk. I have used it before without issues, now it suddenly got me this issue. I deleted that, and any files I recovered with it, and now there aren’t any new threats.
If you wanna be sure that no threat left then run a scan with mawarebytes + adwcleaner
What was the Trojan? False positives can occur, its unlikely to be a major issue tbh.
You wouldn’t download a condom
I’m not sure I follow.
You recovered some files with testdisk and these files were marked as malicious? What did you actually recover?

So, it warned you. And You allowed it. Hmm.

Not completely. Try Kaspersky Rescue Disk and Try scanning once.
