I checked windows defender a file exclusion was automatically made and which probably gave access to the the hacker guy to my pc. I scanned and uninstalled most suspicious apps with windows defender and Malwarebytes both but the other day someone again logged in my gmail despite having 2fa enabled and changing password. now a weird file recovery.dat is being made in desktop and i have no clue if my system is

    Changing a DAT file back to jpeg.

    @ jer 1
    In your post #16 the 2nd pic is showing an "Unsupported Audio" message.
    That suggests to me that your .dat files may be video files.
    The zip file you uploaded further suggests they are segments from a video file.
    SM player plays the files with a message they were " Created with Nero"
