what do I do if I have downloaded and installed the infected game?

If possible, turn networking off!

Dealing with viruses:

  • Get a linux iso and scan potential threats with ClamAV/TK.

  • Fresh install (If you are paranoid.)

  • Manually find and remove dangerous software. (VirusTotal may help.)
