so to start things off yea i know, i installed an unlock all client, one of those blacklisted modifications that unlock everything as i didnt feel like grinding out levels and paying for skins and stuff, and the file name was titled "INJECTOR" something. shortly after the game files were corrupted and it said that an ordinal was corrupt, which fixed itself after i ran malwarebytes scans a couple of times, and i got rid of a dumpstack.log.tmp file which i assume kept opening a bunch of microsoft applications and eating up my memory and cpu usage, and that fixed most of the problems. i realized that it disabled my windows updates feature (like it entirely deleted the files responsible for such) along with changing my administration privileges and adding some weird account to my computer that had administration privileges while disabling the actual administrative account, and a bunch of official window applications no longer work as i cant access them. I cant go into the settings and alter this as im restricted from doing so and the UAC just wont open no matter how many times i've tried. i restored my system to before the virus occurred and my windows update now works, but my administrative permissions still dont work and i had to redelete the dumpstack file, and now in task manager everything seems to look normal, but office applications and apps like "search" and "my phone" and "news" start up randomly and consume really absurd amounts of memory and cpu usage (300mb and up) and i have to end task quite a few times before they get suspended or stop popping back up. and i really dont want to factory reset as i have a lot of settings for gaming that i dont want to have to go back and redo, along with my gpu drivers and such. what do i do? i've tried virtually everything to get this ##### off of my computer but none of it has worked and im kind of lost. im assuming its like a hidden rootkit or something but i have no idea. i forgot to mention that it has also hacked into one of my emails and i keep getting spam and stuff along those lines.
i tried to install an "unlock all" client for warzone, and i think i got a very aggressive malware

as i am posting this, i also factory reset and clean installed, but the problems still persist. everytime i open task manager the cpu usage goes from 75-85% back down to the idle percentage, which i suspect to be like crypto mining or something remotely.
it wont let me upload the FRST.txt, is this also the virus? i cant tell. it says in inspect element that its been "blocked?" but i have no idea. i tried a boot scan with avast and nothing was found i guess.
Notepad online
this should work i believe as i copied and pasted the frst information into this website.
