I need some help /g/.
I fucked up by not scanning a torrent a couple months ago and got a virus that took control of my steam. Almost lost my account information and my paypal was connected to it. I was able to lock it down befofe any damage could be done (besides losing a couple old TF2 items).
I virus scanned my PC daily since then, only had threats on the day that shit happened (I've been using Malwarebytes and Windows Defender). The main thing the virus did was close out of my steam so I couldn't interfere with it.
I bought one game this summer sale and they took out $1500 from my bank through my PayPal (I was able to dispute the charges and it's all ok now) but I'm still nervous about this fucking virus since I've installed a few more antivirus software and none of them are saying there are any threats. I've reinstalled Steam 7 times since the first incident.
Yes, I know I'm retarded, but what the fuck do I do /g/?

Reformat your hard drive and then reinstall Windows

Physically discard your hard drive, buy a new one, and reinstall Windows. Certain NSA-derived exploits can infect drive firmware.

The only solution.
>and it shouldn't take longer than 30 mins to an hour to finish
You'll have pretty much everything up & running in around that time (even as a newbie doing it for the first time)

There are only a few steps involved and it's very straightforward.

My recommendation is just go and Google "how to reformat Windows 10" and follow one of the popular guides.

this isn't even viable anymore, peticularly nasty virii now format and embed themselves in USB firmware devices, so when you connect it to your pc it autoinstalls itself and you're infected all over again
