Asked By TechieWizard42 On

I recently found out that malware infected my computer, which led to my Exodus wallet getting hacked. I've done a complete wipe of my PC and changed all my passwords, but I'm worried that there might still be some malware or virus lingering. How can I check if my system is clean or if there's a risk of any remaining malware?

Did you actually format the hard drive, or just wipe everything? If you didn't format it, there's a chance some malware could still be hiding there. It's always good to do a proper format if possible!

When you say 'full wipe,' did you mean you reset Windows or just deleted files? There's a difference, and a full reset or reformat is usually the safest option to clear out everything completely.

Make sure to check for any dodgy browser extensions. Sometimes they can stick around even after a clean install. If you downloaded a cracked game, that could also be a source of malware - just something to keep in mind!
