Hey everyone, I downloaded Vegas Pro and some cracked plugins, and since then, my PC has been super slow. Plus, my Battle.net account got hacked; they changed everything! I've done scans with MRT, CCleaner, and Windows Security, but I'm still worried I might have a virus or someone messing with my stuff. I really don't want to reinstall Windows again since I just did that yesterday, and I want to keep my software clean. What should I do?

Honestly, it sounds like you got hit with some malware. You might be better off just doing a complete reinstall of Windows to ensure everything's clean. Just remember to set up your installation media on a different, uninfected PC. It's tough, but it’s the safest way to go right now.
As harsh as it sounds, stealing software can lead to major headaches. You might want to invest in legitimate licenses down the line—it's worth the peace of mind and security!
Look, it’s a classic case of getting hacked after downloading illegal software. Make sure from now on to always use legitimate versions and keep your antivirus updated! In the future, you can test out software on a virtual machine before risking it on your main PC.
It's a painful lesson, but using cracked software can expose you to all sorts of risks. You should reset your PC completely and change all your passwords. The hacker likely has access to everything linked to your email, so be careful! Also, don't even think about trying to back up files before reinstalling—you might just end up carrying the infection with you.
