Hello, i need help with my gaming laptop. I feel really stupid for doing this but on NYE i tried to pirate Premiere Pro and Photoshop, i thought i did it until i found out that my YouTube account had uploaded a bunch of how to videos without my permission 5 minutes after. So i did what i could to get my YouTube account back and remove whatever i had on my laptop, windows defender detected it and apparently it deleted it so i went to bed thinking that it was all done with, fast forward to Monday and i get a notification in Hindi saying that my steam password has been changed, i managed to get that back via Steam Support, then during the week more of my social mexia accounts have been posting scammy posts, so i installed NordVPN and NordPass to try to properly secure my laptop, that didn’t work so yesterday i decided to factory reset my laptop thinking surely that would put an end to it, but no, today i got a notification saying that someone has started an advert on my facebook, i really don’t know how to put an end to this for good. Any help will be really appreciated.
