So.. I turned on my glorious PC to check the Steam sales (I'm buying the Saints Row Franchise pack :D) but THEN my firewall went craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzy. Malware detected under minecraft launcher. And then when I wanted to scan every thing it said that I have a invalid copy of windows (10) and I couldn't turn my PC of in windows. So press on my case to turn it of, turned it on, turned internet of, Firewall MAX security and shut internet down. Scanning, after the scan I had 4 viruses. Trojan. deleted it. PC IS SAFE again, BUT: wtf happened? You guys know anything?

You probably went to an infected site, and it downloaded some crap without you noticing

Do you have a legit copy of Minecraft and Windows?

Also what's your AntiVirus?

I probably know what it is.. and yes I have a legit copy but fuck that game anyway
