Accidently executed scr file from one of the torrrents
-
Hi,
I accidently downloaded a file with extension .scr in one of the torrents and it turns out to be a malware.
I reset my windows, but the question is am I safe or this file might have stole some of my passwords/data?
Is anyone familiar with this type to viruses? -
had same experience, and it slowed my computer. always says 'not responding when i move from one site to another.

Report the torrent to the mods using the report button on the torrent page.
You can Google some information about scr malware:

I would recommend being very cautious and disconnecting that computer from the internet until the malware is removed.
Also be wary of downloading antivirus software from untrustworthy sources as it may be malware, too.

I have been there too, then I uploaded the file to virus total and tried out the anti-viruses that were able to detect the virus.
I suggest you install ESET, it deletes the files right after you finish downloading if it is infected. -
if this was included in one of our torrents, have you reported it already so we can remove this to prevent other users from get infected by PC Corona?
