They said they will get back to me with their investigation results in 10 days and meanwhile they made me open a new checking account and reset my online account ID and password. I called up the bank and after getting transferred to various departments, they finally shut down my account and launched a fraud investigation. I was quite surprised since I never got any notification email of the transfers or the stranger's email being added as a recipient. When I looked up the recent transactions there were five $`1000 Zelle transfers to some stranger's email address. Yesterday, I realized my Bank of America checking account was short of $5000. I thought there were no consequences of the virus other than having to fresh install the operating system and I was wrong. I finally got rid of the virus and spent the whole Saturday reinstalling apps and stuff. Since my Win 10 and my Microsoft Office is linked to my Microsoft Live account, I could retrieve those keys after the fresh install. I used the Win 10 reset option to wipe clean everything. "Juris.exe" was one of the main apps that was running which I believe is one of the virus.Įither way, after the failed attempt to clean up the computer, I decided to fresh install the windows and format all my drives.

Since it was a small indie game, I chose ignore the flags. It did have a few red flags like the size was just 400mb etc. Last weekend I felt like trying out a strategy game called "Steam Punk" and I downloaded a torrent from PirateBay. I've been busy for the last couple of months with travel, etc and didn't really download any pirated software or torrents. So I have this terrible habit of downloading pirated games through torrents to try them out and see how it runs on my rig and if I do like the game, I go ahead and buy it.
