Windows Update and Internet Explorer problem

[Dwwop]

Hi guys,

so recently I've tried to install an app from third party site, and instead of getting the app, I've ended up with bunch of viruses. Yeah, I know, I'm stupid...

So I've done couple scans using different apps, and deleted every single file from appdata, roaming, program files, chrome extensions, etc.

that sounded little fishy. I've also unninstalled every newly added app.

 

All in all, I still got 2 main issues that I can't fix on my own. When I use chrome it doesn't show the browser logo, but instead it shows the internet explorer logo and the second issue is, that I can't update windows via the update center in settings. When I try to scan for any new updates I end up with 0x80070424 error code and when I try to install the manually it says the same error message with text "the specified service does not exist as an installed service". When I tried to find "windows update" service in services, it simply wasn't there.

 

I'd appreciate any help, since I don't know what to do now.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my english

You are likely going to need to re-install windows, and after that, install an anti-virus software

That's the one thing I want to avoid, since I have shit ton of workrelated apps installed, and kinda slow internet connection, so reinstalling Windows is the last thing I want to do. But if it'll be the only option left, I guess I'll have to do it

You shouldn’t need to re-download everything, if you do the install correctly

I mean, I don't have any install apps saved on the computer, so I guess I'll have to redownload them. Or am I missing something?
