Hello everybody, so basically i never got a virus pirating before, and now i have. I dont even know how but i just did. It got all my passwords (steam, epic games, etc.) and i dont know what to do. I ran multiple AV softwares but nothing was detected. I changes all those passwords, so hopefully nothing more will happen, but i know that the virus is still there. Nothing too important was done, the person sold like 2 cs2 stickers (that i got for free), and one insurgency sandstrom collectible (that i got for free) on the steam market for a few cents. Except that nothing happened. Since i changed the passwords nothing happened.
Now, my question is whats my best bet? Is it to just reinstall windows? Will the reinstall 100% solve it, or no? What do i do? Thankfully i dont have anything too important on my pc, so even if i delete everything on it it wont matter much. What do yall say? I fucked up guys, i know, please help me. My biggest worry rn is the virus infecting the other devices in my home network, so can it do that? Thanks for help!
