Hi Sphere Matchers,
I don't know where to write about problem, so I'll write here.
Lately someone made proposition to me to find a link to Zuma's Revenge. Full version of course. First, I've got a link without steam.dll. Second, got a trial version. Third, didn't even completed installing because of numerous other crappy applications, that infiltrated my computer. I erased most of them by hand, but there is at least still one application, which pop-ups me a sex/sexy games sites. I am bothering with the name of the file, as in the Task Manager it doesn't eat a lot of CPU or RAM (earlier I had even an application stealing my CPU for cryptomining!). I am also worried about "reversing" Windows 10 to earlier state (from for example yesterday), because I would lose precious game data in Trackmania (I made some maps today) and Zuma (made progress in mod).
The exact discussion of the ZR's link is here: Search for user called "Gelora Mangkutana6" then for answers in the comment search for "Chrochet Fan".
Thank you all in advance for your help.

Lesson: Do NOT click random links. Scan stuff in virustotal.
If you're unsure, try installing it in a virtual machine, and remember to keep shared folders off. You don't want owo stuff in your real PC

Yea, I know this link could be spicy, however I didn't except: -> such many pop-ups, -> CPU stealing -> installing cryptominer application

Well, if a link is spicy check it with virustotal and don't just click Next in the installer like a "Next maniac". Oh, you're playing with Trackmania? What's your name in the game? What version of Trackmania you have? I have so many questions.

Scan your computer for viruses, malware and such. If there's no option, back up safe things, including your Trackmania maps on Google Drive or something, then refresh your PC.

Thank you all once more for kindness and wanting to help. I firstly tried to follow instructions from there: www.removemalwaretip.com/windows-xp/xmrig-removal-simple-steps-to-get-rid-of-xmrig-easily However after scanning, while I had been wanting to delete those threats, a peaceful grim appeared on my face, when I saw "repair for just $39.95!" and a link to page. So, nope. Then I used your tips, especially system recovery, which, apparently, my grandpa was using to keep his 2001's computer alive for quite long. What I want to say is just: I have a debt of gratitude with you. I will try to pay that debt as quickly as possible. And here is a proof, that it worked, even without backup (because I've forgotten to do so). That means also, that it not only worked, but I didn't lose anything. i.imgur.com/rQnf8zx.jpg

System Restore does not delete your saved files. It only restores registry files. Use System Restore to an earlier restore point.
