    i think my pc is compromised


    When I opened my laptop today I saw a new app shortcut named "cc cleaner" on my desktop. I haven't installed it by myself. I don't know if it is a virus. I deleted all suspicious files in my system including some torrent files I downloaded recently .I don't have any antivirus other than windows defender.I scanned viruses in windows defender but there was no virus showing.it said its safe. But I don't think its safe.What should i do next .Please reply to this email is possible "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" ,because my microsoft email is student email and i don't use it much.

    :)
