You can full scan your systems with antivirus software, I'm not sure about what you mean "all the softwares are really wiped out". When you uninstall software, sometimes there is some files including registry that require to be manually deleted. For this, you can use a Ccleaner software.

OK I'll format it ... But does formatting really wipe out everything associated with the downloaded softwares ? I apologise for being a bit paranoid as I'm a noob in this field and pls correct me if I'm wrong ... We know that deleted files aren't really deleted- they're just hidden that's why agencies like the FBI can recover what was deleted by suspects ... So .. does the same principle apply to formatting as well ? Will it just be hidden or perhaps have any residues which will cause trouble in the future ? Thx ^^

Or you can just pay for a top tier AV then all others cracked? My AV can block even after clicking download.

Use Malwarebytes to scan your PC. This software is great to check periodically for any virus or trojan.
