Hello guys, I’m using Arch as a newbie. Learning about it. But worried about a thing. When I was creating the bootable media for install it, I downloaded the .iso and .iso.sig from any mirror that is near. I followed the things about verification of .iso but I got some errors and gave up. Just used the iso I didn’t verificated. I am using the OS that iso installed. There is nothing wrong with usage. I can access all the things about Arch, not had any problems and any performance issues. No special internet usage, no broken things etc. but I’m a bit worried about is there any malicious software such as keyloggers, mining softwares… Can I verify my Arch after the installation? Can I see if there is any software malicious via htop-bpytop? Should I create the bootable media again with verification and reinstall my Arch?

    So sorry for labor. There is a lacking information by me. I created the bootable at my previous OS, so there is no same .iso file. Only extracted version on my USB and installed version that is running on my PC. Can I see the mirror source from the extracted version?

      Like the other commenter said you are probably fine. If you still worry, backup your /home and go for a fresh install and restore /home.

        Better guarantee it haha. I did nothing except using unnecessary documents and surfing on the net. And maybe some games. I used archinstall for it but now, I will set it up customized and nonscript. Maybe fresh restart would be better. Thanks for the help again. Goodbye!
