Malware overtook and edited my desktop computer registry, group policy, etc

[LostCause123]

hello! so i have been dealing with this for over a year now, and learned a lot about this through out the year since I'm living in a very rural area and hours away from any tech helping personal and companies. So as of recently I started streaming professionally and as well as became a professional game competitor. I use a program called OBS studio to stream through which is how i found out about this concurrent issue that I'm about to explain. When i was setting up my stream a few months ago, in the settings menu there is an option to choose where the  stream binds to. By default it is set to default option but if you expand it, it gives you the options to bind it to the computers network adapters and the computers and networks IP address. As of two weeks ago, I opened up my usual programs and my OBS streaming program and noticed that the stream was unbearable to watch. It constantly crashed, pixelated to unwatchable states and stuttered as if I was streaming off a public Wi-Fi in McDonald's in the middle of New York with 50 thousand other people logged in and using the Wi-Fi as well... yes it was that freaking slow! when I checked my speed of my network on multiple sites... it showed me lightning fast speeds and reflected exactly the speeds that I am paying for via my network provider. The problem is definitely not in that, my download speed is above 200mb/s and upload of over 25mb/s. My routers ethernet band speed is at 2.5gb as well. So as of two weeks ago my OBS studio network bind option started showing that there was a new IP address option that i could bind to and a vEthernet adapter option as well. Both of the new options had a V in front of it. When i did some research, i figured out that it was the Hyper-V virtual Ethernet Adapters (vEthernet) that were installed on my desktop and causing the issues. When i went to device manager to try and delete them, they are not there. My normal Ethernet and wireless adapters are but no sign of anything else. It is only seen through the OBS program and the same IP address is popping up in my anti virus network adapters section as a "work" adapter and always becomes deemed as a full access network to bypass all my firewall settings which is dont allow even for my own home network. Every time I block the IP address and the network firewall bypass, It reappears with even more IP address sections (up to 10 different groups of them) after I restart my computer. At this point my computer is almost un-usable and running any kind of games and stream is just a no go. My network cap is over 2000GB and it charges me 10 dollars for every extra 50GB and my last bill was over a thousand dollars since it shows that my Desktop alone uses over 5k GB last month and i only had it on 2-3 hours a couple times a week to do research on google or look things up. There is absolutely no way i could be using that much network bandwidth so obviously the hacker is. Please help me permanently get rid of this problem, I would like to take up streaming as a full time job and the only thing stopping me right now and has been for over a year now are these issues that all point to malware/hacker take over and use of my computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated and i will be monitoring the forums for a reply every 10 minutes or so since this is my number one issue to deal with as of now. My life has been a complete mess and in shambles ever since some how contracting this malware/hacker over a year and 3 months ago as of this date. Thank you so much in advance and god bless!
