From a different computer, she needs to change all of her passwords. Your friend needs to stop using her computer. This is a trojan, not a virus, and like the horse the Greeks gave to the Trojans it bypasses almost all of the system security. If she said yes, and typed it in, she just allowed the download to install anything it wants. Videos will never, ever ask for your password. If the download included an installer package, program (perhaps disguised as a video) or script, and you run it, it can do many things.Īsk your friend if she was asked for her password at any point in the process.
Videos are, in general, just data files and thus safe to open. So the torrent file had extras, and your friend installed them.
