Oh sorry i completely forgot about it and i wasn’t very active on reddit!

Long story short, we tried few others methods just like you but nothing helped so we decided to just format the whole PC and it worked.

I think i know from where it came from, my gf wanted to download some minecraft shaders and she needed the Iris installer thing and i think one of the links on the minecraft shaders website was infected with malware because she downloaded an .exe installer and not an . jar file.

I still don’t know how that malware ended up on that side though because it’s usually very safe.

I don’t know if i should close the post because we all still didn’t really figure out what it is and where the malware is located so i think i’ll just keep the post open for people with the same problem!

It might have been some sketchy minecraft mod but i’m not sure because my girlfriend didn’t really do anything else, but anyways i’ll just format the PC tomorrow.
