A Thank You note

Sorry if it is a little off-topic but I just wanted to post this to show my gratitude for this community

I had a problem with an InfoStealer Trojan (fake captcha) a few days ago and all the tips and solutions that I have tried I found here (change passwords and enable 2FA from a different device and USB Windows install)

I have my PC (now restored and clean) back home and so far none of my e-mails and accounts showed any suspicious activity (I hope it stays like this)

Thank you to everyone who has helped people in the same situation, your comments and support really helped me!

HELP! Nuked my PC but Trojan returned

I know this problem shows up every once in a while but I really need Help!!

I fell for the Fake Captcha (windows + r, ctrl + v) infostealer a few days ago... I managed to change all my passwords on a clean device right away and turned on 2FA on everything. So far all my accounts are ok and show no suspicious activity.

I sent the infected PC to a technician who has helped me before to nuke my PC and do a fresh windows reinstall as recommended, he did backup my files only pictures and .docx, .xls and .pdf before nuking it

Installed windows again and uploaded the files.

I got my PC back, turned it on and BEFORE i logged on any accounts on that PC, I did a Microsoft Defender full scan and found these:

HackTool:BAT / AutoKms

Trojan:Win32/Leonem

I found out that the hacktool was probably used to start windows on my PC... but what worries me is Leonem, I found out it is a spyware/infostealer. Since I have not accessed any accounts on that PC after changing my passwords, I assume that it is OK(?) But I'm still very anxious

WHAT SHOULD I DO??? HELP!
