Hi,
Yesterday I downloaded a cracked software from torrent and after its installation something unusual started started happening to my Laptop. It was like, some softwares automatically got downloaded and installed and there was a single software which was continuously getting downloaded and installed in the background but wasn't shown in the installed apps. It was only shown when I was shutting down the system. And my browser was also malfunctioning like new tabs were getting opened and some websites "clickmax.com","thegoodcards" something like that, were opening on their own continuously. There was also on additional option in the menu of Chrome which says "your browser is being administered" something like that.
I reinstalled windows 10 today and the problem with the browser and software installation is solved but all my files in the PC are corrupted and an additional extension .ROTE is added to all the files, and non of the entire 200 GB files is opening.
I also tried some anti-malware softwares like EMSISOFT, Malwarebytes but problem still exists.
Thanks for reading this.
I hope someone has the solution.
Thank you,
Best regards,
Nasir
