JS:Trojan.Cryxos Notification

iv21 · February 14

Hi, so, earlier today i got a notification from Bitdefender regarding "JS:Trojan.Cryxos" and also an "lsgwkbk" thing, I have to admit I did visit a site I've never seen before by mistake, but since then i've looked into this and being a little paranoic I ran a full scan and found nothing, also followed some steps from a discussion here with running windows in safe mode and deleting the temp files and everything and then scaning the system, but still found nothing. My main concern is, should I be worried about that notification? Could I have gotten infected even though Bitdefender blocked it? I know it's a silly question but I'm new to Bitdefender, it's actually my first antivirus so I need an answer from someone who knows how these work. Thank You!
