Rootkit hostage

Hi!
I have a serious problem! Long story short is that my laptop had some software installed on it without my consent(my guess is at one of the parties held at my house) and since I have spotted that, my life has become this continuous fight with the invisible monster. The thing is that even after reinstalling windows, somehow this thing gets reinfected with all that stuff. You can't really call it a virus, since it is legit software, but it is software that transformed my laptop into a VM server that is a puppet in the hands of the "Administrator". I have even have had several instances of windows popping up and saying that the admin forbids me to perform that action. I think you can imagine how frustrating is that.
I think I have figured out all the steps that his "system" takes in order to gain control over my laptop and the first and most important one is that it boots from a hidden virtual drive that is called "X:boot" and which I can't remove or edit because it says it is write protected. So I can't really do anything lately,cause I am afraid that all the information I type or acces is seen by somebody,even this post..But there's nothing I can do about it and I really hope you can help me get rid of this stocker.- Moved by Dave PatrickMVP Tuesday, January 5, 2021 6:58 PM looking for forum
