Feeling Anxious About Possible Malware on My PC—What Should I Do?

Asked By WorriedGamer88 On

I recently reset my Windows 11 Pro PC and I'm worried I might have malware, especially since I've used cheats for games like Road to Vostok and SPT. I have Bitdefender Free and Hitman Pro installed, and I've done scans with Sophos and EEK, but I'm still feeling anxious about it. Bitdefender hasn't flagged anything, but I just can't shake this feeling. I'm also worried about losing my accounts, and being under 16 in Canada makes finding a job that much harder. Any advice?

Always back up your important files before making significant changes. You mentioned you reset your PC but didn't touch your other hard drive where your games are stored. That could be a contributing factor to any issues. Just keep monitoring your system, and consider using different antivirus programs if you're really worried!

Honestly, a lot of people think Bitdefender is malware, but that's probably not the case. It sounds like you've taken some good steps by scanning your PC. Just make sure your software is up to date and keep an eye on unusual behavior—sometimes it's just paranoia after using cheats.

If you're still feeling anxious, I recommend following a malware removal guide online. The more steps you take, the more peace of mind you'll have. It's normal to feel this way, especially after using cheats. Just stay cautious and keep those backups!
