I was trying to download mods for Farming Simulator 25, but it redirected me to a suspicious verification page where I had to copy something into the run application. After that, my antivirus warned me about a blocked connection, and a cmd console popped up saying it couldn't load some data. I later found out that the site had a weird API address (onlyticpodvinedeminix.com). Now, I'm concerned that all my computer components could be infected since it's been a while. I also want to know if my router could be compromised and how to fix any issues without resetting it. I'm curious about what data might have been stolen as well. If my API keys are at risk, what could happen, and how can I reset them? I plan to ask more questions if they come up in the comments.

I’d agree that if your router is infected, resetting it is your best bet. If you don’t want to, just make sure you change the password immediately. It's true that you might face issues with multiple devices if your computer is infected, so definitely run scans on all your devices. For the API keys, they could be used maliciously to access your accounts, so treat this as a major security breach—reset those keys ASAP! If you're unsure about how to navigate that, feel free to ask here for more in-depth advice.
If you think you have malware, definitely check out a good malware removal guide. As for your router, while it can be compromised, it usually happens if you haven't changed the default login credentials. Resetting it to factory settings is the best option if you're worried—there's no way to fix an infected router without doing that. You could also check online for specialists, but this community has plenty of tech-savvy folks who can help you. As for your stolen data, assume everything is at risk, so change all your passwords from a safe device. If they have your API keys, they might be able to make charges on your account. You should disable those keys and create new ones for your services.
