If you accidentally downloaded malicious software or virus, it is important to take the following steps:
- Immediately disconnect the internet connection to your computer.
- Scan your computer with an anti-virus and anti-malware program.
- Remove any malicious files or viruses that were identified.
- If your anti-virus software does not detect any malicious files, disconnect the computer from the internet again, and attempt a manual removal.
- If no malicious files are present, you can try to use a system restore to fix possible errors, or reinstall the operating system.
