So I downloaded a minecraft texture pack from a mediafire link and I when I opened it I noticed a file called keylogger.exe.txt (screenshot: prntscr.com/4av32p ) and me being the dumbass I was I ran the texture pack and opened the file. The problem is that I was using my family pc when I did all of this so I am scared that the "hacker" or whoever made this file will keylog my family's personal information. I will give you the link to the texture pack if you want me to. I asked a good techy friend what I should do and he said scan my pc with malwarebytes.

Best thing to do buddy is to research online, as some keyloggers won't be affected with 'malwarebytes'. You can either go to Task Manager > Processes to find an unusual process. But before you end a process you think is off putting make sure you research before doing so as it could be used for the operating system. The other place where it could be is the 'registry' if you don't know what you're doing then do research as editing the registry could mess up your whole system.

The other thing is that it could be a false alarm but for the sake of this just try the above.
