Hey everyone, I have a bit of a situation. I tried to modify Sims 4 by following a method I found online that promised access to all expansions for free. At first, it seemed to work fine, but then my game crashed and froze my entire PC. I decided to restart my computer, but now Windows won't boot up at all. All I see is the manufacturer's logo followed by a loading icon that just hangs there for hours. I'm really worried this might be some sort of malware. Can anyone offer guidance on how to fix this?

Honestly, messing around with illegal downloads is always a risk. I used to do it too, and I’ve faced some similar issues. You might want to consider just uninstalling any suspicious programs you’ve downloaded. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Just a heads-up, if Windows Defender didn’t flag the unlocker but you still ran into trouble, it could be because the program was specifically designed to bypass detection. Be cautious about what you download in the future. If you know the site you got it from, maybe there's a chance to find helpful info or a removal guide there.
If you think you've got malware on your system, it's crucial to take immediate action. You should try booting your PC in Safe Mode first. Once there, see if you can run a malware scan using Windows Defender or another trusted tool. If that doesn't work, using a recovery disk might help to access your system for repairs.
