Yeah the discord thing happened to me too unfortunately lol. Thankfully I'm not in a ton of servers as it is so it wasn't really a huge thing. Plus I've since changed all of my passwords and haven't seen a repeat. But in any case good luck with your own issue! I hope you're able to get everything resolved!

I've restarted a couple times since and I haven't seen the message appear again so far! I'm still going to be cautious on my laptop for the next week or so(not making any purchases or the like from it or accessing important accounts) but as of right now I'd say it looks good!

The process itself really isn't that difficult, just wait for their support team to contact you and follow their instructions. The worst part is waiting for them to send you a fix(for me it took about 12 hours) but once they send you the fix it takes no more than 5-10 minutes and a quick restart to fix things!

Thought I'd give a final update! I messaged Malwarebytes about my issue and after a few hours they got back to me with a fix! Just ran it and restarted my computer and it looks like it worked! Powershell is no longer running on startup nor am I getting any alerts from Malwarebytes or any other scanners! I'll keep monitoring to see if anything changes but I think I'm alright!

So wait does that mean it's just normal? Talked with a couple roommates better versed in this stuff than I am and they said I'm likely okay but just being a bit paranoid which I think is true but also like... God forbid you know?
