Need help with a virus!

[motskei]

Hey guys, so I'm stupid, and I downloaded a link a random guy sent me on Steam, yeah. Basically, he has been able to take control of my computer and drag my Steam inventory into a trade and hit the accept button, so somehow he has took control of my computer as I watch it happen. Do you know what sort of virus this is? I have run Mcafee and the built in virus protection on windows, but still he has come back today and managed to do it yet again, do you have any idea what I should be looking for?

Disconnecting from the internet is the first thing you should do.

Reboot into Safe Mode With Networking and grab MalwareBytes.

Run various virus checkers and what not in safe mode without networking/internet.

Is it worth me just restoring back to factory settings? I ran a scan of both malwarebytes and norton with no network and they picked up no threats

Do a system restore to a point before you opened the file.

Have you tried in safe mode?

If yes try to download an antispyware, though if malwarebytes failed it's probably not going to be easy to remove, remember to change your passwords after you remove it.

If you can't remove it in anyway yes, restore/format.

Hi,

 

Try running in safemode and use Norton security.

I restored my SSD to a point at which I hadn't opened the file, and I deleted the partition in disk management for my HDD, would that completely wipe it?
