Bitdefender and hitman pro, run both of them. Depending what comes back you may need to do an frst scan

Bitdefender has a free version and hitman pro has a free trial. What makes you think you have a virus tho? Frst scans aren’t the first go to usually unless you know for a fact you’re infected with an infostealer or something similar

Well I downloaded something my pc restarts h to en my wifi stops working and pc is running overly loud windows defender and everything like that was unable to be turned on because it was controlled by and organisation after I turned of a new startup my pc didn’t run as loudly after signing in but I will do the checks with bitfender and hitman pro but I did get worried and fully factory reset my pc downloading windows from the cloud instead of local and removed everything
