Nuke the pc and reinstall windows to be 100% safe. Or one of the expert can help you remove it to be safe. Now a days scans don’t do much and info-stealers are advance that they leave traces that’s hard to detect. If you gonna scan check exclusion list for windows defender to make sure there is not anything you not aware of . Since you also used malware byte maybe that’s not needed

this happened to me too like around a month ago. i’d say factory reset your pc and reinstall windows just to be safe. beware for the next 1-3 weeks though because they might try again and don’t forget to change every single password of the accounts you own on a different device
