I feel really embarrassed sharing this, but I accidentally got scammed by a cracked version of Adobe Premiere Pro I found on Reddit. Now, two of my accounts, including Spotify and Discord, have been compromised, and I've noticed attacks coming from places like America, Indonesia, and Thailand. I'm really worried about the origin of this malicious file or app that may be attacking my PC. Can anyone help me figure out what to do?

Honestly, a reinstall might be the best solution at this point. It sounds like a mess, and cleaning out every potential threat can be a huge task. Starting with a clean slate can help you feel secure again. Don't forget to back up important files first!
First off, if you downloaded a cracked app, avoid logging into any accounts on that PC. There's a high chance that your device may be compromised. You might want to check for any suspicious software that's running, but your best bet might be to format your system altogether to ensure everything's cleaned up. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s the safest way to start fresh.
Definitely change your passwords if you haven't already. That’s crucial. But beyond that, if you suspect some software is the root issue, consider running a full antivirus scan or looking into malware removal tools. If the problem persists, a complete system reinstall might save you from further issues. Better safe than sorry!
