Someone on steam sent me a website, when i went to the website, it started downloading a file, and I quickly closed the website. The file was .scr and I looked it up and saw it was a trojan, i quickly deleted it and cleaned my recycling bin, then ran windows defender, i tried opening the file before that and windows wouldnt open it and said it was a trojan and it wouldnt run. Do I have anything to worry about, Windows Defender is doing a full scan and hasn't found anything wrong yet but I'm worried.

if you stopped the download before it was done you're fine.

I would download Malwarebytes and Norton and scan with those. If I were you, I'd invest in the $30 USD for Kaspersky Internet Security.

it was in my downloads folder but it never ran because windows stopped it as far as im aware

malware bytes detected a few programs and then deleted them and restarted my computer
