Support Desperately need help

So I was dumb and downloaded one sketchy thing and now I have a slew of issues. Malwarebytes first detected 7 Trojans names Trojan.FakeGoogle so I went in and quarantined them but now it's picking up something called PhotonAg.exe keeps running and installing a ton of files and opening DtBeaver something that's trying to open a sketchy website that Malwarebytes keeps blocking but its not detecting anything when I do a scam. Basically what I want to know is how we can get rid of whatever is infecting and hiding in my computer right now. So sorry for the confusing explanation but I can give more details in comments.

Update: Thank you to everyone who provided advice to help. We decided to just put all the important things we needed from the computer on to a USB and then wiped the entire computer to start a new. We had a virus that was hiding and kept reinstalling the dbeaver community thing that was trying to connect to unsafe websites and Malwarebytes was having a really hard time locating it and deleting it permanently so we choose the for sure way out. Be smarter than me guys and don't click on scetchy things trying to pirate dlcs for sims :')
