  1. Greetings everyone, I was dumb when I didn't see what I was about to download at kickasstorrent website. I found a torrent I wanted to download, accidentally clicked "Easy Download" instead of downloading the torrent file. It downloaded as "Torrenteasy-filename of the torrent I wanted to download.exe" and then I thought it was a torrent file, so I opened it, to my shock instead of my torrent program to pop up, it install itself and pop up as stand-alone torrent client and started to downloading the file. The next thing I do was quickly closed it to prevent any possible damage to my computer. I thought my computer is safe until the next restart, it startup itself to continue downloading. I closed it again and find the torrent easy file and delete it. Then I go to msconfig, in the startup tab there's this program listed to open itself during startup, I uncheck it, restart, nothing happened and I browse again thru msconfig, and it's still there, unchecked. To me, something that startup itself without me having an option is rootkit/malware. :-( I know it's my fault in the first place. I'm running Malwarebytes scanner now to scan my whole computer. How do I check if it done anymore harm to my computer? Help please :-( Cheers. and Sad. :-(
