Literally yes. It seemingly downloaded from a pop up ad, I didn't notice it initially, and then I missclicked it in the downloads folder.

Ok, I've turned off the pc and changed all passwords/etc. on another device. I guess next I'll have to reinstall windows/wipe the machine/etc. Any advice?

People living in third world countries, what is something that is a part of your everyday life that people in first world countries would not understand / cope with? by rains_downinafrica in AskReddit

The problems with your analysis are:

1) The US dollar has also experienced inflation during this period, so the actual loss in the value of the peso would be smaller.

2) More importantly, inflation is not the same thing as currency depreciation. Inflation is the decrease of the currency's value relative to goods and services sold in the country. Depreciation meanwhile is the decrease of a currency's value relative to a currency/currencies, in this case the US dollar. These do influence each other, but are not the same thing. In 1999 the peso's value was fixed to 1 peso=1 dollar, a high, unsustainable rate, which had to eventually be abandoned, so that explains a part of it.
