Thanks for the tips. I have no other reason for using Google Chrome other than being used to it since I started working online way before I entered crypto-space. I guess it never crossed my mind how vulnerable I am using it.

A bunch of wacky scripts were found by my current AV, forgot the names 'cause I just immediately let the AV settle it. I will now wipe my system and install a new one.

I assume OP was/is using the same windows PC for browsing, downloading stuffs, holding funds, etc. which is not recommended at all. Too many malwares across the internet (smarter than your antivirus), you click a simple link and wont even know what problems are waiting for you ahead.

Unfortunately Yes. While I have another device, it's a Chromebook that's used by my wife. It doesn't necessarily support the Apps I required to run the bounty campaign management service. So I'm stuck with my one and only PC.

God, what are we talking about? Guilty or not? I asked the OP if he was an advanced computer user . According to all the responses, julerz12 does not understand the entire concept of network security. And unfortunately, you can feel sorry for him, but knowing his level of attitude toward other people's funds, I would not trust him in the future.
Using Windows for surfing and keeping money on a shared computer is just careless. It doesn't matter that you were the only user; you need to separate your general life from your financial one. A lot of people think, like, "This won't happen to me." But, alas, it's only a matter of time.

Those are all reasons to Support the Type 1 Newbie Warning Flag. It doesn't matter that it's not fraud. You call it an accident, I call using hot wallets for large funds an accident waiting to happen.

I only recently read another article about the RAT, despite recalling it yesterday; a hacker can wait for a convenient time, and that time has come. Speaking of RAT, this is not an unfounded opinion; it is enough to download a supposedly useful plugin for Photoshop, and that's it; you are already in sight, thinking that you downloaded from the right source.

P.S. Some people will tell you to stop using Windows... I don't care what you use for an operating system, no OS will save you from yourself.
