I think it would have been safer to power off that computer immediately, reboot and load an OS from usb, and do a full hard disk scan on the main hard drive.
Even safer, don't run windows for crypto related stuff.
Yes, that would have been better. Probably Caine for the investigation: https://www.caine-live.net/
I haven't messed around with Caine enough to know what I'm doing though. I also don't know how to remove windows malware from a linux iso live environment.
Now as far as the "even safer don't run windows" side of this, I feel this is missing the point.
The point is, I was hacked and still didn't lose my Bitcoin
This is because I have a multi-sig with other computers that are turned off and never connect to the internet.
That all being said, I have thought about it after this attack, and yes I think my windows computer needs to be a full watch and broadcast only wallet rather than a 1 sign and many watch wallet.
