Windows 10: HKU\S-1-15.

Alright so, I got a virus from downloading a dodgy game. realised i had a virus and formatted my pc. I wiped everything, poth my ssd and hard drive. Exactly 7 days after i format my pc these same problems come back, windows defender cant find anything though. However. While looking for anything suspicious, i find i am locked out of a folder, i found out this is normal for said folder however there is a strange thing that has remote access to a number of my folders. It's named "Account Unknown S-1-15-3-1024 and a ton of numbers" now after further research i find it is using my pc in a botnet, using spyware to grab online info, and will start crashing/slowing down my PC, after my previous formatting seemed to have somehow been ineffective. I'm really in need of some help, not planning on losing this PC just yet
