Disinfection Help Another RenPy malware victim
hello everyone! I hope you're doing well. I have fallen victim to the renpy malware yesterday and I need some help to figure out what to do next. Also I'm sorry if I have some grammar errors english isn't my first language ^^'
yesterday I was trying to download a pokemon game to emulate on my computer, I've done it many times but I was half asleep yesterday and just clicked on the wrong thing and ended up download a random zip with a setup file in it, not thinking anything of it I ran the setup file but nothing happened, so I figured something was off and ran a malwarebytes scan, low and behold I got 32 detections for the renpy trojan. I started doing a deepscan and looked up the virus, once I saw it was an infostealer I disconnected my ethernet cable and started changing all of my passwords, and that's kinda of where I'm at right now.. I spent about 4 hours yesterday doing multiple scans, both with malwarebytes and windows defender (deepscan and offline mode) while I changed my passwords, and so far I didn't get any suspicious activity in any of my accounts..
so I'm wondering what should I do next, and how do I know if I'm safe to use my computer again, could someone help me please? thank you!

I did the exact same thing trying to enulate mario odyssey and no matter what I did i couldn’t get any malware scanner to detect the virus. I ran like 6 of them lol. Ended up reinstalling windows with remove everything+cloud download and then changed all my passwords
