As a frequent user of peer-2-peer services(i.e. The Pirate Bay, uTorrent), I tend to take precautions before downloading any software, movies, whatever. However, I recently slipped somewhere and encountered the pup.exe crypto currency mining virus. Is there any way to trace which torrent I downloaded that would be the origin of the virus so I can remove it and not accidentally bring it back?


*Just to specify, when I say "origin" I do not mean where the virus is currently located, I mean so I know which torrent to delete. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 with Malwarebytes 2.2 and yes I do know the risks of pup.exe as I just want my CPU back.



Best regards
