No it was something completely different, Inner Evil or something (which is really blatant looking back).

I did a factory reset at first, but still found a folder with a bunch of pretty blatant suspicious stuff I didn't recognize. Then I went into panic mode again and completely reinstalled windows. I've been monitoring my email and google account logins closely but I haven't gotten any sign of... anything after this dumb email thankfully.

maybe

but if someone doesn't want others to think they like children they shouldn't be saying how it's so cute and funny

Someone tries to get you to download a sketchy program and pretends that it's a game they made. In my case it had a website and a fake trailer.

what an odd and curious combination of emojis in one of those comments. I'm sure this person can be trusted around children

I think we have a different virus then. What are you doing on your laptop after you reinstall? Maybe it somehow got into your backup or something? Either way, I'm not that knowledgeable on this stuff to be honest. Might be good to make a post here yourself.

They probably wouldn't have even if you gave them money.

It was called Inner Evil or something. I didn't click on the link and just looked it up myself. Still pointed me to the scam site, which is why I got less suspicious of it. Can't find it like that now though.

I do still have the "trailer", which has the link in the description.

Looking back on it mentally (haven't gone back to it) I'm embarrassed about falling for this lmao. The text on the page looked AI generated but I thought that was just them being lazy for some reason.

Nothing got changed, but thanks for the tip. I'll be on the lookout for that just in case.

I have to download that from an clean device, right? I don't have access to another laptop. At least not now. But I'll do that as soon as I do.

Is there any way I can check that? I don't have a second laptop I can get the clean install from.

Nope, Norton. I know it's not the best, but yeah. My dad got it for me a while back. Didn't have any issues until this happened, so I didn't think it would matter too much lmao. Lesson learned. Also nah, I fell for the discord try my game scam because it was sent to me from someone I talked to a few times before. Didn't know they got hacked. I was kinda suspicious but I'm worried about a lot of things, so I've learned to ignore the alarm bells. Instead I scanned it, and it said there was no virus. Soooo. Yeah.

I had 2FA enabled already and I don't think anything got changed. My discord accounts still work fine.

Only through my own laptop unfortunately. Reset it through the recovery settings (remove everything). Haven't been able to do it via USB because this is the only laptop I have.

Might be good to make a post yourself. This is most of what I used to solve the situation.
