My little brother downloaded a trojan I don’t know how long ago, I found out when I realized my malware bytes was gone for some reason, and when I got it back, I had 36 files sent to quarantine after the first scan! He tried downloading a mod for something, he is still afraid to tell me the truth. The hackers have been sending messages on steam and instagram, but I have 2FA on all of those and I get login alerts, what’s the point if they got through all of these?? What can I do besides changing my passwords?

    First and foremost, on a different device, make sure you update ALL your passwords.

    Next, do a fresh install on your PC. Consider the machine compromised beyond repair. Do NOT use it without the clean install.

    Finally, never give someone unfettered access to a PC. Always, always have safeguards such as Family Safety etc in place.
