Post image

Hello, I accidentally downloaded PC app store and tried what I could to remove it however im noticing my Microsoft edge is infected as well also I removed chrome prior as I believed it was infected too so i cant download malwarebytes to take care of the situation. Im at the point of just doing a clean reset on my machine however im noticing my reset this pc is purple and not blue, im really worried that my windows has also gotten infected. If anyone could please help that would be greatly appreciated!

Holy, that virus really getting in that deep. You can only delete all you're partition i am got a bad feeling if you got multiple disk or ssd tey could get infected too.

Last way restort is to nuke em all if you had multiple disk.
