fell for discord try my game scam


Recommended Posts

i was too gullible and thought the one who sent me the link was my friend since their texting style was almost the same. i was also unaware that this scam was going around and now im scared and paranoid cuz i dont want to lose my game account as well as my emails since it connects to a lot of my game accounts. i knew it was suspicious when it needed a password but i went thru it anyway, i was so stupid. i really hope someone can help me, i wud prefer not to reset the pc though. 

here r the things i did when i realised it was a scam right after i installed it: 

1. fully uninstall discord and deleted the files + havent installed it yet

2. changed almost all my emails password and discord password (hoping i dont miss any)

3. i uninstalled the app of the scam

4. did a quick scan w microsoft defender 

5. also did a scan with malwarebytes and removed everything

6. there was also an application which i can barely remember which says startApp in the roaming windows file or something that i deleted since whenever i restarted my pc, it shows that it cant function. im sorry i cant remember the path but i did went thru roaming then windows and something. 

i really hv no idea how to deal with this kinda thing cuz im not rlly a computer person and this wasnt even my computer (in a way). pls help me.
