Very kind of you but like I said, I'm very clumsy and nervous when I'm doing stuff I don't completely understand so I'd rather go for the safest option available.
But yeah, if you're telling me everything else is fine and it doesn't look like there's any signs of an infection left, then I think we can consider the matter settled! Thank you so, so much for all of your help and guiding me through this. You've been incredible and I highly appreciate it!

Oh thank *****, my heart stopped for a second.
But yeah, if you think it would be safer to just do a clean Windows install in about a month or two rather than letting my klutzy fingers potentially delete something important by accident, would you think that would be a better option?
-
Well I have back ups for the important stuff anyway. I was already migrating files since I was planning to wipe my PC and install a clean version of Windows to convert it into a work PC.
Oh and reassure me, when you say ''Wow, that can get ugly trying to force remove it.'' you mean the impossible to uninstall programs and not the virus, right? 😐

@AdvancedSetupHere, the first picture is for Paint.net, the other is for Python, even the version I just installed. Sorry for the french, it just says it can't find the specified directory.
Also, something I forgot to mention but last night, while I was executing Farbar, I forgot I had ESET running a complete scan in the background. It had one malware detection but it closed before it could complete the sweep and quarantine it. After we left off, I did another complete scan and ESET didn't detect anything that time.
-
There you go. The apps in question are Python 3.9.1 (64-bit) v.3.9.1150.0 and paint.net v.4.2.16

A'right, finally did all of the things, really sorry for the wait! I updated my Windows, uninstalled and updated most of the programs you listed (some of them are not even on my PC anymore, they're just broken directories that my PC doesn't want to remove despite having done a proper uninstalling for some reason.)

Oh, just realised I forgot to answer your first question. Sorry. No, I never attempted to visit that site, it's the first time I ever heard of it. That's the RTP I got while I was looking up an article on Wikipedia and just on the Google homescreen.

Here, hopefully I didn't forget anything.

There you go, thanks for your help.

Oh, I can't edit so I'll make another post. So a AdwCleaner did find something, so... Yeah.

I hope I'm in the right thread for this but here we go:
I know Outbound connections real time protection notifications are not proof of an infection, however I received two notifications from the same url on the Google homepage and the other on a Wikipedia page, as far as I know, these are not websites I thought I would get RTP alerts from. I thought it looked pretty suspicious so I really wanted to make sure I didn't overlook anything. I'm using Google Chrome as a browser (Planning to switch to Opera) I made a scan with MB, Windows Defender and ESET, all came back negative. Maybe I'm just really paranoid.
-
Thanks a lot! Really glad to know I didn't need to stress over it after all.

Hello! So I booted up my PC this morning and MB quarantined a DLL file called CUEPLUGIN.DLL as a Malware.AI.17502978. It feels like a false positive since I only used Twitch and Youtube these past few days and haven't installed anything that wasn't a Steam game either but I really wanted to make sure. I've attached the log, sorry it's in French.

And here's the (hopefully) final log @AdvancedSetup! Have a wonderful day!
