Disinfection Help [bedrock] Fake "Hack Client" Virus Stuck On My Minecraft Account/Computer

I recently got a minecraft hack client for a video with my friends. About to start, I realized I had not figured out how to get it to work. I tried for a while, but eventually I went back to the video I had found it on to try to find a setup guide. I had the weird feeling to check the comments, so I did, and I found like 10 different people saying that it was a virus. (the channel wasn't popular) I immediately went to go delete the file off my downloads, it was a .zip with a whole bunch of things including an exe file in there. I tried to delete the folder I had extracted but it kept saying it was in use of another program. I checked task manager and nothing suspicious was there, and minecraft was not open. I looked in the file, and it seems like when I had opened the exe before, it dissapeared, because it was not there. I imediately reset my computer, finally was able to delete the folder, searched my whole computer for the name of the file, and ran microsoft defender. I thought it was all gone, but when I went back into minecraft, my keys were either late, or not even there. I had to hold down W, wait 2 seconds, and then I would move. Something is very wrong, and I don't even know what the virus's main purpose was! I know there might have been a better place to post this in, but I couldn't find anything that helps with this stuff, and I need help fast, depending on what this will do to my computer! I can't play minecraft! What is weird, is that my keys are spot on for every other game I play or when I type, it is just minecraft that has the delayed keys! Please, I really need all the help I can get!
