I'll install bitdefender and do a full scan with it. I'm currently running a full system scan with Windows Defender. (I guess the folder did not get deleted after all)
However, the remaining space in my drive did not increase. I cancelled it and when I opened the folder again, it was not there anymore. When I was deleting the extracted installation iso, I ran into an error. After I'd installed it, my laptop became a little bit slower. I'm definitely not implying that I'm 100% sure it has a malware. Hence, I believe that there are no malware risks associated with the specific m0nkrus release.Īlthough I cannot completely rule out the possibility that the malware was smart enough to evade the radar, the chances of such a thing happening is very slim. I chose Bitdefender because its virus definition and scan engine is considered among the best in the industry. I've run Microsoft Defender Full Scan as well as Bitdefender Total Security System Scan and Rescue Environment (Boot time scan).
