Hi, I was just negligent and accepted some image files (2 pieces) from a person I have no reason to trust. To this person I could be considered a high profile target, so I'm a little bit concerned about this, as a friend of mine who is knowledgeable in IT said I could be vulnerable when accepting image files through Skype. My friend doesn't seem to be taking my concerns too seriously, so I was wondering if anybody could give me input on this.
So far I've uploaded the files to
www.virustotal.com. And they came back 0/52. I also used trend micro housecall to scan my PC, as well as ran Malwarebytes and both of those came back negative too.
I am willing to wipe my system clean and reinstall Windows if necessary, but that's just my usual response when in doubt, because there is too much on the line to be negligent when it comes to online security for me. What do you guys think I should do? Should I investigate this further and run more low level scans (such as from the sticky)? Am I being overly paranoid?
