There's this tool (forgot name, i deleted it) for BO3, I've heard about all the RATs going round, (it had some suspicious stuff on virustotal, he claimed they were false positives)
so I downloaded it, and i right clicked to do a virus scan, but just as i right clicked, absolutely everything went blue, and windows explorer stopped responding, i couldn't force close it through task manager, then i shut down the pc.
I turn it back on and everything takes longer than usual to load, but it all loads eventually.
now the folder with the tool has more than an exe, there are a bunch of tmp files, i scan everything in the folder and it all had viruses (forgot what type it said, i think malware), so it quarantines the files, but i deleted them anyway.
Now i do a full system scan and it says there are no viruses.
I'm having a really hard time believing that it hasn't installed something hidden somewhere, and it was all just put in the same folder.
anyone know anything less than £9999999999999999999999999999 that will properly check for viruses? (I'm currently using avast)
EDIT:
MrNiato is the *** who has done this, he is posting it on multiple modding sites.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Hitman, Spybot Search & Destroy are all really good at checking for that kind of shit. In the future i would download and use Sandboxie to open all .exes, it's free and if there is anything fishy in them it'll be run sandboxed so it won't fuck up your computer
