Kaspersky found Trojan.multi.brosubsc.gen

It was on a pc where it was getting accounts hacked, my question is, is it just popup ads as it was all that was found. I have since formatted it but I would like to know if that was the cause

Can it be the thing that caused the hacking though?

Also it was running in system memory

Then I’m stumped. Kaspersky found nothing else other than this but I logged into my school email and it has hacked and password was changed. At the time I used cracks but I don’t anymore, now I’m worried on how it’s all happened. Any ideas
