"Someone"? - This wouldn't have been an online 'tech support' would it? You have described exactly how they scam you.

 

It wasn't tech support. Multiple threads I saw (all on different sites) said the file (which seemed sketchy itself) was a cookie logger and if you saved a password you might be in danger. I scanned with Malwarebytes, but got nothing on it (keep in mind I'm still on the premium trial) I'm worried Malwarebytes can't pick up cookie loggers.

Someone just told me a file I just downloaded was a cookie logger, I couldn't find anything that says how these work. I never did run the program, but I still want to know if it could have infected my computer! Please help, even if cookie loggers are fine, answer the question anyway. They showed me pictures of things the logger did, so I believe that they can actually do something.
