So, I downloaded a torrent and inside it, I found this .exe with the name "Xvid ultra codec pack". Out of curiosity I tried running it but it didn't execute because of some error. Then I deleted it. After I had emptied the folder containing it, I tried deleting the folder as well but couldn't because "The action can't be completed because the folder or file is open in another program". I have experienced no issues so far but being unable to delete an empty folder seems suspicious. Please help.

I cleaned with both things and attaching the reports here. Adwcleaner created two reports so I'm attaching both of them as well. Also, I think the threat was successfully cleaned because I managed to permanently delete the folder that I could not before. Thanks a bunch!
