Dear #windows #infosec #security people. My sister is an average windows user. It appears she has a compromised browser, she tried to download VLC, the compromised browser may have routed her to a different download and now she has some malware called PC App Store.

Other than just sending her a Debian install USB stick which I'd gladly do, what's her best bet for ridding herself of this? Microsoft Defender didn't see any issues. Presumably she can't use a browser to download things reliably...
