I did it 3 times already, guess there shouldn't be an issue now.

I really doubt there's an infection, because I haven't touched this PC in a month and the last time I scanned, everything was clean. I just realized I forgot to mention that everything went wrong as soon as I updated Malwarebytes, perhaps that has something to do with it. Before, Malwarebytes would ask me if I wanted to quarantine the false positives, but now it just quarantines them straight away then nags me to reboot. I had two exclusions but Malwarebytes detected one of them anyway. Well whatever, I just restored everything back to before the whole fiasco, so problem solved, I guess. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

There's nothing... it doesn't make sense.

Still nothing.

I ran a manual scan and Malwarebytes quarantined two installers it deemed to be spyware. I rebooted to complete the process, and checked the quarantine list. I believed the installers were non-malicious so I restored them to see what they were the installer of. The weird thing is, Malwarebytes restored them to a location they definitely weren't in before (my C:\Users\PC\downloads folder was empty but Malwarebytes restored them there), and after rescanning, the restored installers no longer show up on the detected list! I checked the report of the first scan and it says no threats detected! Was I seeing things? What's going on? The scan also found bitTorrent.exe to be malicious. I rebooted to complete the process, then went to the quarantine list to restore the program. The problem is, similar to the installers, the entire bitTorrent folder was restored in a completely different location. On top of that, the executable became "unable to run on my PC", requiring me to reinstall bitTorrent. The report doesn't say anything about this as it just says no threats detected.
