So this morning I got hacked via a malicious program a hacked friend tricked me into downloading. Any time I log into discord on my laptop (I haven't dared try logging into anything else) the hacker gets my account access. This has claimed my main account and the first backup I made (I did a virus sweep that proved insufficient).
I understand that the best thing to do now is open my laptop in safe mode, salvage what's necessary, and then format it for a clean install before restoring the salvaged files from an external hard drive.
The problem is that in safe mode, everything even tangentially associated with Microsoft's cloud saving service is impossible to copy onto my external hard drive no matter what I do. I don't know what the problem is, and after a very ill-advised attempt at following an online guide for the process, I have decided I need to consult people who more directly know what they're doing.
Just backing up from cloud isn't an option because several documents are saying they haven't properly updated the cloud in months. I really don't want to lose these files, but I really want this malicious program off my system as soon as possible.
Does anyone know how I can access these files safely?
It would've been cool if Warlock Garfield's patron was implied to be imsorryjon Garfield.
