Possible Bitcoin Miner

Hello, for a while now I have had what I think a bitcoin miner on my PC but now I am deciding to do something about it, well, at least I tried to. Basically, I recently installed Malwarebytes to see if it would pick up this "miner." This "miner" would use
Notepad and it would use about 20% of my CPU (that's why I assumed it was a bitcoin miner.) Malwarebytes has picked up nothing in the virus scan. I removed Notepad from my PC as I didn't use it, but now I keep getting notifications from Malwarebytes of it
blocking this website due to a "Trojan": pool-nyc.supportxmr.com

Malwarebytes also says the "Trojan" is coming from explorer.exe, but when I scan with this anti-virus it picks up nothing.

 

How to remove bitcoin miner

I accidentally ran the file from this link [ bitcoin Miner download link ]. It seems to run about 3 or more "Visual Basic Command Line Compiler" which takes up all my cpu and ram. I used process explorer and found that it the command line section said this

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\vbc.exe -o fr-zephyr.miningocean.org:5342 -u ZEPHYR2dNRNd7BpuKZoXnqZu7WiTzoMXE8EhzsTJDnXV9ZDksih16M2EazfmCb3ax9Z78hH9iJMxSQE1NBkPCK6W3M8SBGcc7ZC2z -p work -a rx/0 --donate-level 1 --opencl

This was the code in the command line section.

What should I do in order to remove it
