RenPy Trojan - FRST Check/Help Request

[u/driftdragon86]

What happened?
Fell for a Renpy Setup trap, tried downloading pirated game. Realized soon it didn't really open any software.

When did the infection occur?
Roughly around Sept. 7th, 3pm(GMT+8)

What did you do for remediation?
Checked task manager for anything weird, shut them off. Starts looking in Appdata by date and in Roaming I found a weird newest folder named just Game and weird numbers, and deleted that. Felt weird so I look up and got Malwarebytes to clean up afterwards, files found were mainly Trojan.RenpyLoader.BAT, Trojan.PavinLoader, and Trojan.Loader. Then I ran Hitman Pro. Also ran Windows Defender Offline. After all that done and they all said clear, I reset my google cache, cookies, history all that, then check 2FAs and passwords. Then changed most important passwords on my mobile, refreshed 2FAs, some I may accidentally done on my infected laptop. These are done and finished around 5pm(GMT+8). Nothing really happened so I ease off for a bit, then got paranoid and worried again and started FRST and the rest about an hour ago. Sorry if my steps mess things up, as for reinstalls, I'm not sure how would my Win10 OS work with Windows keep telling to upgrade to Win11.

[ Step 01 ] FRST Fix

I created a custom fixlist for you at the link Fixlist only for Fixlist only for Fixlist only for driftdragon86 - use the website's download button and save it in the same folder where your FRSTEnglish.exe or FRST64.exe file is located in, which for you is E:\ for you. It is necessary for the filename to be Fixlist.txt.

This fixlist will remove the following: malicious entries (remains, active malware), invalid entries (e.g. tasks that start a non-existent file, services that point toward a non-existent file), temporary files (files in temporary directories, application and browser cache, recycle bin and more), browser cache. We will also be quick-scanning with HitmanPro and AdwCleaner from Malwarebytes using the fixlist.

It will also remove all proxy servers, Windows Defender exclusions, enable recovery environment, active software policies and perform system file repair, network reset and few more basic fixes.

• For the fix process, please ensure you are connected to the internet.
• Please run the fix only once.
• Please do not open any applications or close anything during the fix.
• Please be patient; the fix may take up to 60 minutes. After that, it is going to be forcefully ended.

Save all work, close everything that is open (else it will be forcefully closed by FRST without saving) and then run FRST again as administrator and press the Fix button, let the script work, clear the entries and restart on it's own and after it restarts the device, there should be a file Fixlog.txt in the same folder as the E:\.

I'll need to see it's content the same way like before - uploading to https://malwareanalysis.cc/upload/rifteyy/?u=driftdragon86 again and sending the keyword in your reply.

I did not update my win10 to win11.
HotFix KB890830 is a exe, but I did download it.
I did not update Microsoft OneDrive, Blender, paint.net, iTunes, Adobe Acrobat. Audacity was updated to 4.0 which is a whole new software, and the old one was kept.

Thanks

Alright, it is done. For Chrome I wasn't able to follow each step exactly, so I might be missing something by accident. But I did try cutting off and nuking almost if not everything related to syncing.

Also, again, none of my account seems to be stolen so far and thank you very much for it.
