Guys, that 5.5d version was a fake one? I just realised that I mess up.

Should I worry about that?

Yup, those malware bots spam these threads regularly hoping unsuspecting victims would download their software.

You ran the files? Better disconnect your PC, run a virus scan and clear any traces of those things. Also, change your passwords if you logged in after the infection (that is after the cleanup).
Yes, I ran the start. And then It tried to install something and had access denied.
:S

Have nothing to fancy on this pc btw.  Is a W10 updated and KIS (no notifications, even scanning the files)
