Hey all, so in a lapse of judgement I downloaded an .exe and ran it without really thinking of what I was doing. Unfortunately I didn't virustotal the exe before running it so I ended up installing some kind of virus or trojan on my computer (VirusTotal).

Anyways, after the program "failed" to run (missing some .dll file, probably a fake window), I ran the file through virustotal and checked what files it had added and modified, it looks like it followed the same behavior as reported, which is modifying some registry keys and dropping a bunch of files, one which contained my current ip address. In any case, I deleted some of those files and ran the following:

* Malwarebytes
* KVRT
* Hitman Pro
* EmsisoftEmergencyKit

I was wondering if there was way to determine if there's still traces left on my pc, or if any experts know if the program above had any behavior that would cause some sabotage later down the line.

Thanks!

Hey, nasdaq.

Thanks for the response. Malwarebytes did not catch that registry key edit. I ran the fix and the log is attached. Looks like installing Malwarebytes turned off Windows Defender yesterday. I've re-enabled it.

Thanks for confirming that there's no other remnants. Hopefully whatever got sent when I opened that file isn't going to bite me later down the line.
