I may have been dosed with malware

Thank you all! Excellent posts all round and not one of you called me a fool for falling for a potential scam.
The machine in question is my mining rig and as such I don't have any real information on it and it is still mining to my wallet.
To play it safe I am going to follow your advice and do a fresh windows install and flash the BIOS.
Probably a daft question but is it remotely possible that TeamViewer could have transmitted the virus to my other computer?

Well ...
if someone has access to your teamviewer-logindata, that person could load files on your pc and execute them.
If there were known exploits for random teamviewer-takeovers, you would have read about it.
There are tons of ways that a stealer / keylogger could do damage.
Even if someone changed the receive-address you are mining to it would make you mine for nothing until you notice.
Unlikely but well ... you never know who is on the other end.

Thanks again, My only problem now is that the only USB drive I have, has been connected to the computer i want to wipe, so i can't create an ISO on it without the risk of just copying the virus over again.
It'll have to wait until i get a new one i guess.
cheers

First rule while online, Think before you click!

1: If you think or you feel that you get infected with malware, immediately remove your connection from the network, to eliminate the spread of malware.

2. boot from Safe Mode, run anti-malware, you may try using Malwarebyte, Superanti-spyware, registry cleaner like Ccleaner. run full scan.

3. you may use bootable anti-malware, bootable CD or USB loaded with anti-malware (like mcafee, kaspersky etc.)

4. change all necessary login password

5. keep in mind that there are NO perfect anti-malware created and there is NO safe place for workstation when connected in the network.

6. even Enterprise companies are facing the same problem.
