Recently a scammer posing as the support for coinbase connected with me and I found later that he was a scammer.  How do I find out all the programs that he installed without my  knowledge.  I did a s ystem a restore to a previous date, but today my program loaded by itself and emptied my account.  Can the experts please  suggest what software(s) I should run, especially if he had disabled my virus, firewall and also defender protectioin. thank u.

Well, do a clean reinstall. Save your data, format your drive and hope that there's nothing left in the BIOS/UEFI.

In response to John, I am a single User, and I use Verizon dsl, and have Avast, so how do I install the router and which firewall to use - Zone Alarm?   thank u
I use a Cisco RV325 router but you may find that pricey for just you.

Netgear make decent routers.

Also ask Verizon for a recommendation as the router goes in front of the DSL modem and so must be configured.
