Did you respond appropriately to the suspicion of a trojan virus?
After restarting my PC and logging in, the lower screen displayed a Halloween-themed animation featuring bats and various elements. It instructed me to click Esc or the letter "e," but it persisted even when navigating through different applications. I felt a strong adrenaline surge. I worried that pressing a button might erase all my files and the entire hard drive. I quickly disconnected the Ethernet cable, powered off the machine, and removed all HDDs. I decided to attempt copying my files offline without internet access. When I booted up, the system froze, resembling a locked hard drive, but I successfully logged in. I checked online for any Halloween-themed trojan viruses but found none. A Reddit post about a similar incident caught my attention, and I reviewed the comments—turns out it was an ASUS Armour Crate Halloween prank.
You got it exactly wrong, you were completely caught off guard.
