I was infected a while back by accidentally running a piece of malware I was trying to analyze. I had to turn off AV protection to upload it to analysis sites as it was detected and I must have accidentally ran it. After I turned the AV back on it was detected and removed by Kaspersky’s Advanced Disinfection, however I want to make sure no damage was delt. This happened a few months ago and nothing was hacked or anything, at least so far. Am I in the clear or should I perform any checks? The malware is 100% gone on my system.

The malware was either the adwerecleaner fake AV, or the SpySheriff fake AV, if I remember correctly. I know it’s a well known malware.
