@owenp2004 If the js file was never run, then it is unlikely to cause any harm, though when that happened to me, I did a complete wipe of my SSD and reinstalled Windows since I don't really trust Windows security. If you were running an up to date Linux based OS and a prudent user of the OS, then you don't have much to worry about since the js file most likely has codes to download the actual payload (executable of the malware) meant for Windows. I'm not sure about how Windows 10 security deals with javascript files, but if you never ran the file, then it probably is safe, but probably a good idea to back up your files now just in case you need to do a complete wipe and reinstall. I dealt with a ransomsware before, and it is annoying AF. Oh and remember my name...
