I was trying to find a rare album and downloaded an unusual file. Some strange files require installers to place music on specific storage spots, which is why I used this one. As soon as the installer started, my antivirus and malware alerts popped up strongly. I stopped the installer right away and removed the file. I ran full scans for malware and antivirus protection. Are there any further steps I should take to ensure my system remains safe?

Avoid downloading files from untrusted websites. Wait until you've completed a security check before proceeding.

I performed a manual scan earlier, but no malicious signatures were found. The antivirus also reported nothing during that check.

The setup file may seem safe, but what it does to your computer could be dangerous.

I'm not clear on what you're asking about missing information. Could you provide more details or clarify your question?

When MBAM and antivirus confirm everything is safe, that’s the ideal. To be absolutely confident, you can revert to an earlier backup point.
