Well, I'm sure it's now obvious in hindsight, but if you were expecting a txt and instead got a suspicious exe, it would be best to not run it, particularly if you've already seen it get flagged and deleted by an anti-virus program once before.

I should have trusted my gut but didn't. I feel like I should have known better. Since I reformated my computer is there anyway that he will have remote access or keylogger on my computer anymore

Not unless it's able to repopulate from somewhere else but based on what it sounds like, you don't have other systems on your network so that isn't really an option, and even if it was it was unlikely.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

who knows... we didnt see how you did it

if it was done right, you changed passwords and it was actually the device where it leaked from, then youre probably ok
