Thank you so much for all your help!  My computer seems to be running fine and there have been no subsequent attacks.  As a final question to follow up about my Discord account: is there a particular risk to leaving the account name the same if I've totally reset the account's device permissions, changed the passwords, and decoupled all my associated accounts with other services?  I'm assuming that the hacker got a snapshot of my passwords et al as they were at the time, but it doesn't seem like they've retained access.
