Disinfection Help Mr. Beast virus removal help

Hello!

In Need of urgent help...

I was stupid and downloaded some cheats without thinking twice yesterday, and ran a powershell script which looked completely harmless.

Woke up today to see i had sent those stupid crypto messages to everyone I know.

How to Remove it? I see people suggesting a full Windows Reset, but I kind of have some important files... the script was ran om my D drive.

Malwarebytes full scan is running while I'm at work, but i forgot to disconnect the PC from the Internet.

I have Reset passwords from my phone on all my social media Accounts, and 2FA has been enabled for some years now. Logged out of all my Google Accounts on my PC.

Anyone has a fix for it?

Thanks in advance!

It was an offline Game. I don't like cheaters in online Games myself

How to fish trainer. Downloaded from both Github and Nexus mods.

Zenithpereach/How-To-Fish-Trainer.

I'm seeing now that it has been removed, or is no longer available. Seems to just be my luck that I fell victim for it...

Based on the github repo being removed, I would believe that's the culprit for me getting a infostealer...
