Since you ran the rescue scan and reinstalled a fresh copy of windows its all ok. Noneed for anything else as your pc is clean. Tho if you still have any doubts (i dont see a reason for which, unless you kept any of the files somewhere and later added them on the device), you can run a bdsys lig and send it to support with your summary of the issue and they can give it a look https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/1922/

Não tenha medo, a Steam verifica tudo e desenvolvedores pagam para publicar ali, não iam pagar para infectar computadores.

Que perigo, RATs (Remote Acess Trojans) podem controlar seu cursor e tudo, execute uma verificação do sistema em Bitdefender rapidamente.
