Hello, following up a previous post, I have been hit by the infostealer from renpy, the discord mr beast virus that affected a lot of people. As measurements, I have disconnected my PC from the internet, changed all passwords and enabled 2FA from my phone and installed windows using a USB that from a friend, twice. Since then I have run malwarebytes, windows offline scan, hitmanpro and bitdefender rescue environment, just to be sure. Out of ignorance, is it safe for me to reinstall discord, steam, etc again? I ask that since, both times I did clean re-installs using the USB, deleting the partitions fully, when windows installed again, after asking for a new e-mail and downloading updates, it came with a, albeit empty, windows.old folder, and, more recently, I noticed a weird folder on programfiles called Propagation with a txt that only contained: ""track=false", so I'm still a bit unsure on yet to continue with installation and if my machine is 100% safe. Any clarification would be good and apologies for the ignorance, I'm just going off of advice from other threads I've read here!

Hello, need FRST help to check on the status of my computer after suffering from a infostealer from renpy as many have suffered lately.
- what happened? Downloaded a infostealer or virus while trying to download a game, all the hacker did was send spam links on discord to friends.
- when did the infection occur? Two days ago.
- what did you do for remediation? After disconnecting my PC from my internet and turning it off as I saw on some posts, I changed my passwords on my phone and have since reinstalled Windows using a USB, deleting ever partition so it would be brand new, doing a a Malwarebytes scan and a Windows Defender Offline scan on the new Windows installation that didn't seen to detect anything.

If I missed anything, let me know, thank you!
Hello, going along with many other users who have fallen for this, I have, due to carelessness while downloading a emulated game, fallen to this virus aswell. All the hacker did was send spam links on discord to friends, which warned me immediatly on my phone.
After disconnecting my PC from my internet and turning it off as I saw on some posts, I changed my passwords on my phone and have since reinstalled Windows using a USB, deleting ever partition so it would be brand new, forgive my wording since I am not well versed in computers. Before re-installing steam, discord and other apps, should I take any action?
Cheers, any bit of help will be appreciated!
