Hey guys, my laptop for the first time has had a virus. Pretty shaken up tbh.

I unfortunately got mcafee to remove it and it says it’s gone. Is McAfee really that bad?

All I was signed in on was Spotify and google and have 2FA on both and nothing suspicious or anything on either accounts and have changed my passwords.

I also had these google chrome pop up things that were saying ‘virus / trojan detected, get this antivirus software.’ I was able to reset my chrome and they have gone away…

I was just wondering if any of my personal information has been taken and whether or not I should delete my email?

    You’re probably fine if you change all your passwords. Don’t click on anymore dodgy links ;) And McAfee is not great but not dangerous. If anything weird happens reinstall windows.
