Secondary steps to be sure my pc is safe after removal of a Backdoor.bug file

[21trial21]

Hi

So last night i was an idiot and trusted someone on my friends list on steam and so I clicked a scam link he sent me thinking it was legit.

I immediately realised my mistake but it was too late as he had already had access to my account and i was kicked out of steam and couldn't log on again.

I then panicked and checked my e-mail address linked to my account, only to find that all my emails had gone and the only thing left was 1 folder from years ago.

I then went onto my McAfee and completed a full scan only to find that nothing was detected. 

Anyway I then shut my pc off because I was worried more info would be leaked to the hacker, I then went onto a different pc and changed my passwords of my E-mail address and did some research.

After hearing about malwarebytes I booted up my pc and ran a scan and malwarebytes found two files and one was called Backdoor.bug and was made out to be a legit file from valve.

 

So I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if I need to do anything else to ensure my pc is safe, I suppose I could re-install windows but is there a better option? or am I fine after using malwarebytes?

 

P.S.

I am really impressed with malwarebytes and will be purchasing premium as it saved my ass

Hello,

    

 

They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll try to help your with your issue.

 

     

    

Before we start please read and note the following:

• We're primarily oriented on malware removal here, so you must know that some issues just cannot be solved and you must be prepared for this. Some tools we use here will remove your browser search history, so backup your important links and all the files whose loss is unacceptable.
• Limit your internet access to posting here, some infections just wait to steal typed-in passwords.
• Please be patient. I know it is frustrating when your PC isn't working properly, but malware removal takes time. Keep in mind that private life gets in the way too. Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
• Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good.
• Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a More reply options button, that gives you Upload Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
• Always execute my instructions in given order. If for some reason you cannot completely follow one instruction, inform me about that.
• Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay someone to repair it.
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

I can't foresee everything, so if anything not covered in my instructions happens, please stop and inform me!

There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.

Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
