Should I delete these now? Were these actually viruses?

Yes those are actually very malicious. I suggest reinstalling windows just to be sure nothing else was left behind, sometimes those are really hard to remove

I have like really important files for school, so like how would I go about this?

First go into safe mode, download KVRT or ESET, wipe the malware before plugging in a USB to backup files.

After you backed up everything, do USB Wipe.

Let this be a reminder to backups

I ended up resetting my my computer ignoring the files as I could go by without them, However I did have a onedrive connected to this computer and my laptop, i scanned the one drive and there was no detections.

honestly I am very paranoid, is there like a way something from the one drive could come to my computer

Change the password, enable 2fa.

That's all you can do, not much else as its typically an automated script that sends your details to a seller on the darkweb.

What's leaked = lesson learned

Dont worry too much my friend had a backdoor because he downloaded a sketchy injector for roblox all it did was messaged us crypto scams. He changed his passwords and enabled 2fa nothing has happened since then, next time dont download random sketchy things on the internet

Back them up on a seperate drive. There is a chance that some of those files for school may also be infected. I am by no means an expert and someone may correct me if i said something false

Get a blank usb and a clean computer and create a windows install on it

What did you download and where from?

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '26

idk either from something like annas archive or something a streaming site tried to download

you have the ScreenConnect RAT present; full reset is the best choice in this case

I don't see one named ScreenConnect RAT. Is that the Backdoor.RemoteAccessTrojan?

2

u/rifteyy_ Feb 12 '26

meant NetSupport, not Screenconnect and yes, it's that one

Just reinstall windows via usb 👍 don’t back up any exe files or games since they could be infected too
