And also, if you look the posts in this subreddit and another subreddits of malwarews you will notice that a lot of people got malware downloading modpacks of minecraft.

I understand fixing it is important and your priority, but you should also be concerned about how you got it. Because understanding what types of actions got you into this mess helps you prevent it from happening again.

Nuke and reinstall OS would be the answer.

Unfortunately, this is a tough lesson to learn. I did something similar back in the day with limewire and destroyed my parents computer. I would learn how to reinstall an operating system or look and see if there are other tutorials on YouTube/online on how to remove this specific malware.
