Should I do a usb reinstall after a cloud reinstall?
Recently I installed malware and deal with that mess with my accounts. I got most of it removed and reset my laptop through the reset settings with a cloud download. I'm still worried that malware could persist and I have my login and accounts stolen again. Should I just do a usb reinstall of windows. If I do, do I just go to my laptop's manufacturer site to reinstall all of the manufacturer's software?
For information on what the malware was, I installed it trying to run renpy (renloader is what you call it?) and it turned out to be an infostealer paired with a bunch of other viruses (trojans). I don't know how much of these *could* still be in the system after the cloud download. I just need peace of mind while using my laptop again.
