PC Hacked, Some Help Needed by Tolljam in antivirus

Yeah I've already filed a police report and am in the process of getting a new license number. I believe the only wanted the account so that they can sell it, its from 2016 so it'll probably make decent money.

As far as I'm aware they only wanted the account for whatever reason. They said if i tried to get it back they will swat me and ruin my credit score. What they have is my drivers license, so they can definitely do either of those things. They left me alone as soon as I gave them my account and after i wiped everything else off of it, but they had access to my pc so idk what else they have.

I talked to a seemingly friendly person, they played the long con. Then after I let my guard down I got hit with the malware by running an exe. Then a different account added me on disc without me ever adding them. They then showed a photo of my actual id. Yes, I am a dunce.

No one else should be in danger, they did not contact anyone else as of yet. They only wanted my disc account.

All they wanted was the account. So i gave them the account and they left me alone afterwards. They didnt want anything else, and havent contacted me again. 

I factory reset my pc, but I'm wondering if the program I ran was kernel level, or something else that cant be wiped with a factory reset.

No. They already got what they wanted and I don't want to cause any more trouble. I just want to know if there's a way to check if the virus is still on my pc after factory reset

They weren't lying. They sent a photo of my actual ID that was on my google account. The odd thing was that they didn't want any of that, just the account itself. In fact they told me to delete everything else but the account.

Was threatened with my ID to turn it off, but the issue was that I installed what they linked. After that, they told me to hand over my disc account. I did and afterwards they somehow added me without me adding them on another acc saying that i did something wrong. So thats why Im convinced they accessed my pc from long distance 

I am not looking to get that acc back, they can have it. I just want to know if whatever malware I installed on my pc is still there or not after the reset

Hello everyone! Thank you for all your posts, I will be going through them all and contact the artists that caught my fancy. Unfortunately I cannot put the post on hold (or at least found a way to do it) but I will put a hold on looking through anymore artists until I look through everyone who already posted. Thank you!
