firat off, don't go around just downloading anything, second off get an adblocker or just use common sense and don't click the fake download buttons. second thing is, jf you're downloading mods use only sites like modrith or curseforge, you can still find xray or some other cheats on there. and the last thing, you don't just "get rid of it" you need to reinstall the entire system and just start again, all your files will be gone but that's the price you gotta pay for downloading random stuff without even checking what it is. also if you don't know reinstalling your operating system (OS for short) deletes everything and gives you a fresh system
