You said someone reported it. I'm assuming they downloaded it. How did they obtain the link? From what little I know about download sites, in order to download they need a link you provide. They can't exactly go in there with your password and check what's there.
Torrent sites are full of hacked Windows and activators. Can you upload to one of them or is your upload speed too slow for that?
If you have a router can you put a little NAS on it?

If nothing comes up then I believe the malware wrote those infected scripts to Windows recovery or ESP which can be thoroughly removed using LiveCD of Dr.web or Kaspersky or Bitdefender.

Thanks for your help. I found that site you mentioned and ran that program they recommended. Didn't help much. I will remember Trellix antivirus.
This is truly the weirdest issue I've run into since I first started to play around with computers. So much so that the problem actually went away by itself! Those files have not reappeared. I didn't do anything and have no explanation. To deepen the mystery, I sent all those scr files to virustotal and they all came back clean. Not one of the 50 or so antivirus companies detected any kind of malware anywhere. If indeed these files had malware, I would love to meet the guy who wrote the software. He succeeded in making his malware totally undetectable.
Another thing doesn't make sense. If indeed this was some sort of cryptocurrency mining going on as the site explains, it follows that the CPU & GPU would run at almost full speed - otherwise mining can't happen. In my case both were running normally and showing maybe 1% or 2% usage when the computer isn't running any program.
Unlike you, I have no choice but to use a router - and a strong one at that. I have no less than 15 devices connected to it and any time. Both my computers, 3 cell phones, 3 TV's and/or streaming devices plus some more stuff (thermostat, EV charger, etc). I have important data on drives connected the router's 2 USB ports. They must be accessed from anywhere in the house and from the street if I'm out. Without a router I'm dead in the water.
You said you don't use a router. Does this mean you connect your cell phone to the internet only via mobile data, i.e., no WiFi at home? If you need to use WiFi for a large download, to you go to Starbucks or use the one at work?

Does Mega go in an open up every file you put on their site? Also, given so many cloud sites out there, why does it necessarily have to be Mega? Google (for example) offers 15Gb for free.
I've seen many Windows ISO's that are pre-activated. You could also put a password-protected separate file with the activator on it, then rename the activator to something real strange. Another way is to put a torrent file inside the ISO so we can download the activator ourselves, or provide a link hidden inside a text file. There are many ways to get around this limitation.
