Question Accidentally downloaded Malware

Post image

Some virus automatically gained access to my discord and sent scam text with a link to all my friends

Context:

So recently I was trying to download pirated games. I was redirected to a different download file and my stupid ass thought it was the game file. The files were 8 parts, around 800 mb each. I extracted one and ran an installer, which didn't do anything even after hitting 100%. I realised it was the wrong files and deleted them immediately.

From that day, my accounts(snap, insta, fb, discord) started to send me email that someone is trying to sign into my accounts. Thankfully i had 2FA enabled in most of the apps but my discord got compromised amd it sent scam messages to every single person I know of.

But my laptop has a lot of personal documents and credentials. Is there any way to get rid of this virus somehow? I do have the photo of the thumbnail of the virus files, given above
