    Wacatac H infection on Windows 11. Need advice.


    I download a file and it was detected by Defender as malicious. Assuming it was a false positive I ran it and ignored Defender. Once extracted, I saw the file duplicate itself in a few folders such as documents etc. Shortly after that it was quarantined again by Defender. I removed the 2-3 threats using Defender. I had Google Chrome open and iCloud iKeychain extension running but not unlocked. It requires a 6 digit code generated by iCloud on the PC. Google Chrome had many of my passwords saved. 10 minutes later someone attempted to login into my Riot account, I changed the password. A few h

    Hi:

    There is no one set of "boilerplate", "cookbook" or standard steps.
    Each computer is unique.
    Each malware infection is unique.
    Proper diagnosis, cleanup and repair depends on the particular infection and the system that is infected.
    The process can be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring the use of multiple powerful tools, in the proper sequence.
    Many of them can actually damage the system if deployed improperly by untrained computer users.

    Bottom line:
    Malware cleanup is best done with *customized* support provided by trained individuals who know what tools to use and how to use them.

    There are a few folks with such expertise here at this forum (I am not one of them).
    And there are a number of reputable computer disinfection fora where trained malware removal experts provide free, custom assistance.

    Cheers,
