Are you aware that there is a user named wBzcwBE with administrator permissions on your system?

Is it safe to use my PC and do my work on it or no?

Not yet. I think your system was infected with a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) which was also used to run the ransomware. Those kinds of malware allow a criminal full control over your system.
It means your system is unsafe and all of your accounts are potentially compromised. After cleaning the system you need to put new passwords in place for all of your accounts (email, online banking, everything that's somewhat important). If you have a clean computer somewhere you can already start doing that. If available, enable 2-Factor-Authentication for accounts.

AVG is still not entirely gone from your system and there is one program that slipped my uninstall list (sorry for that).

1. Uninstall Software
  • Press the Windows Key
    vQQ9ew4.png
    + r on your keyboard at the same time. Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.
  • Search for the following programs, right-click and click Uninstall.
    • WinRAR Free Download Packages
  • Follow the prompts.
  • Note: If you are offered the choice to install additional software, ensure you decline.
  • Reboot if necessary.

2. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) Script
  • Download the attached fixlist.txt
  • Important: The file must be saved in the same location as FRST64.exe.
NOTICE: This script is intended for use on this particular machine. Do not use this script on any other machine; doing so may cause damage to your Operating System.
  • Double-click FRST64.exe to run the programme.
  • Click Fix.
  • A log (Fixlog.txt) will open on your desktop. Attach the log to your next reply.

3. Browser Reset

Before proceeding, please refer to the following instructions on how you can backup your Favourites/Bookmarks.
Using the relevant instructions below, please reset your installed browsers.
As Internet Explorer is an integral part of Windows, please ensure you reset this browser regardless of whether you use it or not.

I backed up the bookmarks of internet explorer, Firefox, google chrome then i reset them as you told me. I found the sync already turned off in chrome and i found a bottom named turn on sync so i left this step and didn't do it, is it okay? but i reset the chrome.
There is a message that appear on starting the windows that it can't open the outlook but i don't know what it means. I have an email on Hotmail and opens fine.

Ah, this log doesn't show any Outlook errors. o_O
I need to create my query more specific. I will try to delete the hidden user account in that same Batch as well.

Copy the following text including "Start::" and "End::"

Start::
CMD: net user wBzcwBE /delete
CMD: wevtutil qe Application /q:"*[System[Provider[@Name='Outlook'] and ((Level=2) or (Level=1))]]" /f:text /c:500 /rd:true
End::


Run FRST64.exe and click on Fix.
A log (Fixlog.txt) will open on your desktop. Attach the log to your next reply.

Hi Eman,

Thank you for the error message. This explains why I didn't find errors. OutlookLib.dll belongs to one of the Dell programs. I understand that the name of the file makes it seem like it could belong to Outlook.

I see that you have disabled some Dell entries with msconfig:

Code:
MSCONFIG\startupreg: AccuWeatherWidget => "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell Stage\Dell Stage\AccuWeather\accuweather.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell Stage\Dell Stage\AccuWeather\start.umj" --startup
MSCONFIG\startupreg: Apoint => C:\Program Files\DellTPad\Apoint.exe
MSCONFIG\startupreg: Dell DataSafe Online => C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Dell Datasafe Online\NOBuClient.exe
MSCONFIG\startupreg: Dell Webcam Central => "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell Webcam\Dell Webcam Central\WebcamDell2.exe" /mode2
MSCONFIG\startupreg: DellStage => "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell Stage\Dell Stage\stage_primary.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell Stage\Dell Stage\start.umj" --startup
MSCONFIG\startupreg: QuickSet => C:\Program Files\Dell\QuickSet\QuickSet.exe
MSCONFIG\startupreg: Stage Remote => C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Stage Remote\StageRemote.exe -Quiet

You have also blocked some with your Firewall:

Code:
FirewallRules: [TCP Query User{1FFCE511-CDCE-4DA5-AEC1-C316AED368DB}C:\program files (x86)\dell\stage remote\stageremoteservice.exe] => (Block) C:\program files (x86)\dell\stage remote\stageremoteservice.exe (ArcSoft, Inc. -> )
FirewallRules: [UDP Query User{561EAC1A-7F10-4987-B715-578A685671FC}C:\program files (x86)\dell\stage remote\stageremoteservice.exe] => (Block) C:\program files (x86)\dell\stage remote\stageremoteservice.exe (ArcSoft, Inc. -> )

My question is: Do you even want these Dell programs? They are legit programs that come preinstalled on Dell systems but often considered bloatware.

Do you have any issues connecting Bluetooth devices to your computer? I think reinstalling the Bluetooth driver might help. I will research tomorrow morning how to do this.

Regarding the Bluetooth driver: Dell SupportAssist is the program that is responsible to help you pick and install the right drivers. I don't have a Dell system, I don't think I can try the software to guide you through.
There is a Dell guide on How to download and install a device driver with SupportAssist. Note that you don't need to download SupportAssist because it is already installed.

I would like you to try and reinstall or update the Dell Bluetooth driver. I suspect this to be problem for the error message after startup.

i don't know the benefit of these programs, are they useful or not? i didn't remove them but maybe they are removed by malware programs which i used it before.

i use the Bluetooth to connect with WiFi and it works fine, i don't know how to reinstall it .
let us return to the main issue which is to keep my PC free from that ransomware so i can use it safely.

What about the abnormal account wBzcwBE is it still there or have gone?

Your FRST logs showed the account but the deletion command said it couldn't find it. So the account probably still there. I would have collected everything that's to be done first, to not do more steps than necessary before I try another way. But I will skip the Bluetooth error for now due to your request.

Please provide fresh FRST.txt and Addition.txt. I reposted the instructions below.

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) Scan
  • Double-Click FRST64.exe to run the programme.
  • Ensure the Addition.txt box is checked.
  • Click the Scan button and let the programme run.
  • Upon completion, click OK, then OK on the Addition.txt pop up screen.
  • Two logs (FRST.txt & Addition.txt) will now be open on your Desktop. Attach the logs in your next reply.
