Yeah.. That was the first time I made this mistake.. At least, disconnecting the Internet immediatly, the worm was unable to share information with the Internet. Now I'm running VS on that PC to prevent people from running malicious files.. In my laptop I always use my VM, there I didn't install it

@_cyberGhostT_ Thanks a lot for your help :) Is there anything other I should do about the Internet router? I knew that worms could spread themselves using the router to other connected devices. (at the time of the infection, no other device was connected though). I made a reset to factory settings of my router and re-entared my usual Wi-Fi username and password. The firmaware is up to date
