as the title says. i was downloading a show called reacher. and i did not notice the .lnk at the end until i clicked it.

i didnt know about that type of exploit until it was to late. i did some research on it, but there isnt a lot of "what to do next" i ran malwarebytes and windows defender. but guessing because windows defender didnt automatically destroy it. that the is some type of script to it. either way im screwed. is this where i back up my important files and restore windows?
