Oh 100%. Was a dumb moment where I didn't expect it and didn't bother, and neither did a lot of other people from the looks of it. Good thing is it was something fixable in less than 5 mins and not a bigger problem.
I would completely reformat all affected machines. AVs are not perfect. Yes it sucks, but imagine the consequences of doing any form of banking on an infected machine.
Amazingly enough this all happened on 2 machines with 2-week-old OS installs so, honestly not a huge hassle to do so lmao.`
