I recently discovered that TLauncher, an unofficial program I was using to play Minecraft, might actually be spyware or a virus. I'm worried about potential leftover files or processes after uninstalling it. What's the best method to completely remove it and ensure my PC is safe? Is using Revo Uninstaller followed by a scan with Malwarebytes enough, or should I consider other options?

The best approach is to check the guidelines in your forum's wiki for a complete and clean installation of Windows from a USB. That way, you can be sure everything's wiped clean and fresh!
I had a similar situation with TLauncher and, trust me, it doesn't duplicate itself. You should be fine. After uninstalling, I used TreeSize Free to quickly check for leftovers and it worked perfectly. I'm curious, did it cause any weird issues on your end? It made my system emit random sounds when I clicked or typed!
Nothing too strange, but with it potentially being a virus, I can't just ignore it!
