Trojan.StolenData.E. What now?

[StormCall]

Hi,

My computer was running without an issue earlier this day. But recently, after turning it on, it froze. Nothing worked and the cursor seemed to have been loading something. I turned off the router just in case and restarted the computer. Now it was stuck on boot, forever loading. Restarted again and auto repair popped up. I went into safe mode and updated the GPU driver (as it was out of date), deleted avast (as it requested to be turned on for some reason, despite me not turning it off (btw, it caused me problems in the past and figured it was just avast acting weird again)) and scanned with Malwarebytes, which said that there were no issues found. I then restarted the computer again and it launched normally. I scanned with Malwarebytes again which found 51 Trojan.StolenData.E's! I was dumbfounded, as I've no idea where I could've risked a Trojan, especially letting it steal my data. So I quarantined it and downloaded avast again, changed my e-mail password and then decided to search the web for a solution. Upon reading various posts, it seems that posting here myself is the best solution to this problem, so here I am.

I should add that the files quarantined were only school related. Text files and such. I do not possess any banking data or anything similar on the computer, as I'm barely even an adult.

Also, this may or may not be relevant, but Chrome often runs in the background, using 90% of the CPU. I might end the task in Task Manager, but it launches itself again and again. Malwarebytes once identified a CoinHive Miner or something like that and, upon removal, Chrome didn't run in the background for a few months, but it's back again.

What do I do now? Do I have to format the hard drives and reset the OS all over again?

Any help is appreciated.
