I recently had my Discord account compromised, spamming crypto-draining links while using Mr. Beast's image. Although I thought changing my password would fix things, I've noticed more issues. All files in my downloads folder were deleted, and I received recovery emails in Russian related to my Steam account, which was accessed from New York. There's been suspicious activity on my Microsoft and Google accounts too, with my Google account showing it's managed by an organization. My PC is running slowly, and while I haven't seen any changes to my bank account, I'm worried about malware and just want to get rid of it.

Honestly, it seems like you've been properly pwned. You should refrain from using that PC for anything important until you completely wipe it. Backup nothing—just go straight for downloading the Windows 11 ISO on another clean device, make a USB installer, and do a full reinstall. After that, change all your passwords from a different device and enable 2FA on everything after you're done with the reinstall. The slow speed and that admin message in Chrome indicate active infection, and just using Malwarebytes likely won't fully secure your system.
Regarding that issue with your Google account showing it's managed by an organization, that's super concerning. To clarify, running Malwarebytes isn't just for cleanup; it can help protect you from any active access while you're sorting this out. Once you're in safe mode and temporarily offline, run that deep scan and back up files that can't be infected. After the whole reset, be very cautious about what you download and use trusted security tools for future protection.
It sounds like your device might be infected with an infostealer trojan. First, download and run Malwarebytes to help with the situation. Make sure to sign out of all your sensitive accounts and disconnect from the internet. You can reboot your PC in safe mode, then do a deep scan using Malwarebytes. It's also critical to back up important files to an external drive but avoid backing up any executable files. Once you're done, create a Windows USB installer and perform a clean installation by deleting all partitions. After that, change all your passwords from a different device and enable 2FA wherever possible.
