Tomodachi Life Virus: Please Help I'm Tired

About two weeks ago I downloaded what was supposed to be a leaked version of Tomodachi Life from a link online. It downloaded an .exe file and I ran it.

After that, things started happening.

Someone got into my Discord account. Every time I changed the password, they changed it again until eventually they enabled 2FA and I completely lost access.

They also got into my Telegram and Instagram accounts, and attempted to access my Facebook too.

I searched for what to do and saw advice to disconnect Wi-Fi on the laptop, clear Chrome cookies, change passwords, and enable 2FA from a separate device (my phone), so I did that for Discord, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

At the time I thought it stopped.

But two days ago I found out my Snapchat account had also been hacked. I haven’t used Snapchat for months and deleted it from my phone a year ago, but I had previously been signed into Snapchat Web on my laptop (although I think I got signed out after clearing cookies).

Today I opened my PC and saw someone else listening on my Spotify account too.

I already ran antivirus scans and Windows Security / Defender and nothing is being detected, but I’m scared the malware is still there.

How do I completely remove whatever this is? If antivirus shows nothing, could the malware still be there? Is wiping/reinstalling Windows the safest option? Is there a way to check if they still have access to my accounts?

I just want to make sure this thing is fully gone so I can use my laptop normally again.
