Downloaded and ran obvious virus off of piratebay, virustotal detected 52 engines on it, malwarebytes found 32 files that I deleted but even after that there was still a file preventing me from shutting down my PC so I got paranoid and decided to factory reset within the recovery section of Windows settings. I moved a couple of files I needed to keep onto external USBs but are they for me to just plop into my fresh PC?
Deleted my previous post out of embarrassment and panic but I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks and sorry.
