I don’t think it would be feasible to determine what was done to your computer. the best thing to do is get rid of it.

You are talking forensics that may be too much of a learning curve. I recommend the free open source Clam antivirus.
When Clam scans – the results will show broken files that may reveal the area the virus tried to or did enter. Without being an expert, in shorter terms, you are just chasing your tail with malware and what it did. The best suggestion is to install quality security shareware – the Set and Forget.
Otherwise I suggest actual online classes in this area.
ClamWin Free Antivirus [Open Source - working freeware]
