Hello

So to make it simple : i was dumb and clicked on a link i shouldn’t have, got hacked (they installed something with powershell)

And the PC had trojan, malware etc.. they stole my steam account (which I managed to get back) and they also were able to deactivate my antivirus. (I changed every single password with my phone on every website/account to be sure they won’t get compromised by my PC)

What I did is use kasperty tool on a bootable usb and clean everything.

BUT something is writing on my hosts file and redirecting help.steamcommunity.com (something like that)

It shows as 174.X.X.X help.steamxxxxxx.com (don’t have the file in front of me so the « x » is an exemple)

I am running a software to check what is writing the file but it’s not at start up and idk when it happens, it’s been an hour trying to find what is having access to it.

My question is : how do I know if my PC is clean ? I did a few more scan yesterday and today with windows defender and now trying with malwarebytes

Any help is welcomed, i can’t really clean install because I have a lot of VST/plugin with music production etc.. so if i can avoid doing clean install it would be perfect

Any tools/soft I should use to check if everything is normal ?
