Steven Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Apparently the virus saved password's entered in Chrome and Firefox specifically. Change any important password's or information you may have entired into your browsers. Although it might not seem too urgent to change your password here on these boards, change it anyway if you use the same password for anything else. Link to comment
