    How do i know what was changed on my computer from a virus?


    I was downloading some stuff on windows version 8.1 and decided to face check the file with no anti-virus (nice), got ambushed with a virus who disabled Windows Defender and started doing some whack things in the background. I quickly managed to install malwarebytes and got the virus sorted out and hopefully destroyed(0 threats detected), but windows defender still wont open even though I tried force starting it through regedit permissions, I tried changing the antispyware values, but it wont open.
    I am worried that whatever I downloaded changed my permissions to my settings. I believe the malware is gone now, and I know malwarebytes might be the reason that windows defender won't open (this app is turned off by group policy), but is there anything I can do to make sure my administrative settings weren't changed and if i am still at risk from the same malware? Why is the reason Windows Defender wont open and how can I fix them/make both antivirus programs open at the same time?

    :)

    How do i know what was changed on my computer from a virus?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
