Asked By CuriousCat92 On

Hey everyone! I've recently had my accounts hacked and after running a scan, I found multiple files linked to 'coinminer' and one that particularly caught my attention is called 'LummaStealer'. The issue is that they appear as 'BAT/LummaStealer' but I can't find these files anywhere on my system. I also can't remove them since their locations are unknown to me. I've tried using the command prompt and nothing came up. Can anyone guide me on how to handle this?

First off, sorry to hear you're going through this! It's important to be cautious. Can you tell us what software you used to scan your system? If you have any screenshots of the scan results, that would help. It's curious that some files are showing up as 'not infected' when they definitely sound suspicious!

I meant to click on software but I apologize if that's not the right category. I’m new to Reddit! I scanned using McAfee first, nothing showed. Then I used Malwarebytes; still nothing. But when I ran the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, those bad files popped up, yet they still say 'not infected'.
