The email was spam. (edit: Email came from whoever gave me the virus. Looks like he had a steam workshop mod up, but I can't find his username (a russian username, my keyboard doesn't support the text) or mod anymore or what it was even called)...But, my hard drive was fried. Installed windows, and over 1000 (literally) popups of nasty shit. On a brand new windows. Then my screen was getting messed up and GPU was overheating. My hard drive of 1tb had 200mb left and it was brand new windows install.
(edit: And the virus actually came from a steam mod. Surprised it even got into the workshop...guess anything is possible. But it was a russian (I guess, it looks like a russian name...no idea what the text says...doesn't matter really...but looks like its gone. Guess my entire steam client was infected however. Which explains the many thousands of downloads. But I went through and changed my password, email to the account and all that jazz. And I've been going through with other accounts and changing them.)
Replaced hard drive and works great. I must have got a really nasty Trojan somehow.
I'm guessing a nexus mod was infected. They've had issues like that before. And no, I never downloaded exe mods or open those...I know better than that..
Just skse. So it must have snuck in.
(edit: Wow my modded skyrim is better than ever
its even better than when my mod was released the other day
And runs better too lol...40-50 fps instead of 20-30 and my vanilla skyrim is back at a normal 60 fps. Guess I was badly infected.)
