Ok. I'm generally a very cautious PC user, so this here might also serve as a cautionary tale for you: Never attempt to download possibly dangerous things while using your phone.
That's exactly what happened to me: Downloaded a .wmv torrent that asked me to install a codec. Since I've never seen anything like it, thought to myself "what harm can it be? It's all through wmp!" Then the fake codec installed tons of junkwares / adwares / not-goodwares etc.
What I've already done: Ran Combofix, Junkware removal tool, malware bytes and adwcleaner.
Those are softwares I know and trust, but it still seems to me I didn't do enough.
What I've seen so far:
• Junkware trying to install something in my PC (stopped a while, but I don't know if I destryoed it, or if it'll just come back later the window was called "Install Your Software");
• Rework on my browser initial pages, strange booting behavior;
• A invisible (turned visible) desktop.ini icon on my desktop
• Plenty of softwares installed, most (or all) have been uninstalled already.
• Received this window on start up twice (though stopped last two start ups I did): "setting up personalized settings for windows desktop update" (not my PC's native language, may not be the exact wording)
NO BAIDU, THANK LORD.
