    After downloading a program supposedly for editing pdf files my discord, Facebook and steam suddenly sent links to suspicious websites to friends. I tried securing my accounts and have decided to run a scan. Please help check if I'm still infected. I tried to follow the readme as much as I can.

    • Note: This step resets your Firewall settings and you may be asked later to grant permission for legitimate programs to pass through the Firewall. If you recognize the program agree to the request.
    • Note: The Emptytemp: command will remove cookies and may result in some websites (like banking) indicating they do not recognize your computer. It may be necessary to receive and apply a verification code. In addition, all temporary files including items in the Recycle Bin will be removed. If you are unsure about emptying temporary files stop and let me know.

    Things I would like to see in your next reply. Please attach the report to your reply.
    • Edge Startup entries reviewed?
    • Fixlog
