Okay so this morning I got an alert from Windows Defender, out of nowhere, that they detected a threat on my device and quarantined it. When I checked it read to be "trojan:script/foretype.a!ml" located at C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1 and Quota Manager or something like that.
I immediately let Windows Defender remove it, before re-activating and installing Webroot along with Malware Bytes Premium + Privacy.
HOWEVER. I do not know how to tell if the "removal" actually worked. I don't know how the heck I even GOT a Trojan. It wasn't detected or anything until today, apparently. And I haven't done anything on my computer at all today. I'm very careful about my online security. I don't click on strange emails, links, nothing. The only thing I can think of is my boyfriend and I used a somewhat questionable site last night to watch anime, but in virustotal nothing has shown up for it in the past and I've never had any issues with it (the site being gogoanime.so)
I'm not certain if it was a false positive or not either. Regardless, Webroot & Malware Bytes aren't detecting anything, after like 2 deep scans, plus highlighting and scanning EVERYTHING in the Chrome folder as well.
Would deleting Chrome entirely help? Does Profile 1 allude to WHICH google chrome profile was infected?
What the heck IS the Quota Manager?
What type of Trojan is this???
I'm so confused. And google is NOT helping whatsoever.
UPDATE:
Found out Profile 1 is my personal/irl account for google and I did NOT use that one for watching anime last night. And I never use that profile for anything like anime on sus websites or other things. So I genuinely have no idea.
