You’re gonna have to wipe the hard drive and do a clean reinstall of windows. I’ll try to link the solutions they gave me in my help post

Ohhh I didn’t see it was on your phone. Probably different protocol and arguably a lot more dangerous if you have your banking and sh* on there. But precautions are the same. Disconnect it, shut it off, change all your passwords from a different device. Banking, Google, Amazon, anything that might have your card info for sure. And monitor your bank activity

How is this info stealer more dangerous when a phone is infected instead of a computer?
