Windows 10: I think I got hacked?

I was stupid and installed this VPN because someone emailed me and claimed to want to pay me to review it. When I went to install the .exe file my windows virus defender said it was a Trojan so I deleted it right away. Then a couple of days later I get an alert saying both Gmail accounts had a weird eastern Europe login and I was able to see it in the login history. Then I noticed TeamViewer was installed on my desktop even though I never installed it. My Microsoft word icon also changed. So I deleted team viewer and did a system restore prior to downloading the VPN. Then nothing happened for a while after changing passwords. Then many months later because I was getting the BSOD I did a system app reset that still let me keep the personal files but delete all apps. Do you think these steps got rid of the potential hacker or should I do a complete factory day 1 reset? I already reinstalled all of my apps so it might be a pain to do a complete format again but I'll do it incase they somehow has access and see what I'm doing. Thank you.

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.
