   I have been struggling since having full knee replacement 16 days ago.   
   Inadequate pain mediation for the first week, then the haze and fog of   
   continual medication usage.  For the most part I realize I shouldn't be   
   doing anything that would require a proper mindset.  That said...   
      
   Today I received an email that looked like it was from Social Security   
   Administration.  It had a link to download your statement which I   
   unbelievably clicked.  I went to downloads and there was an .exe file in   
   there.  I thought that was odd so I did a Defender scan on it and it   
   said it was OK.  Much to my amazement now, I clicked on it and it   
   installed something in the background and never did come back to show me   
   my statement.  By now I was starting to realize I fucked up and started   
   looking for what to do.   
      
   I went in the settings/apps and there was a new app for remote desktop   
   and also remote printing which I uninstalled.  I also uninstalled   
   another remote desktop thing that looked like it was the MS proper app,   
   but since I don't need that on this box I also uninstalled that.   
      
   I did the full Defender scan and it said nothing found.  I then did the   
   offline Defender scan that is supposed to find and rid the system of   
   more difficult things.  It also found nothing.   
      
   Damn box is only a month old and I do have an image from when I got it   
   all set up that I could use.  But, I'm wondering if these defender scans   
   have come back negative, and I did remove the program I stupidly let   
   them install, is it possible I got this all removed before any real   
   damage could be done?  What would I look for if they got in, and is   
   there anything else I could do to make sure I'm clean other than using   
   my backup image?   
      
   My head hurts....
