Hi r/Piracy,

I know this was my mistake and I need advice on it.

I downloaded a torrent for The Boys S05E03. It was listed as a normal 1080p video file, but the actual file inside was a .exe, not a .mkv or .mp4. I didn't notice and opened it.

I'm now worried about what it may have done to my system. A few things I want to know:

1. What kind of malware usually comes packaged this way?

2. What steps should I take right now to limit the damage.

Any help is appreciated.
