Hey Mate, I will personally advise you to format your computer.

Aside from the reformat option, there isn't much else you can do aside from using antivirus and/or antimalware scanners...

The Bleeping Computer forums have a lot of useful resources and links to a lot of free tools that you can use.

Next time do a research first before you install any wallet in your machine there are many phishing and fake wallets out there that can affect your machine and steal your sensitive data and Bitcoins.

BitGo official you can find them from here www.bitgo.com
Never use their service so I can't guarantee that you can be safe using the BitGo wallet.

You can use well-know wallets like Electrum but if you want to install a full node only bitcoin-qt is safe to install.

Also, check this below it's worth reading
- Custodial vs. Non-Custodial Wallets - "Not your keys, not your coin" Explained.

If you are going to clean up your pc try to make a bootable Kaspersky rescue disk below to make sure to clean up your PC then install Malwarebytes.
- https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/krd18

It will take too long(depends on how many files stored in your PC) but if you want a fast way better reformmat your PC make a clean install of your OS.

Yes the software i downloaded was indeed using a lot of processing power. already uninstalled and wiped the pc.

The heck? Why are you you downloading unknown software from a random website that is a clone of Bitcoin Core and asks for wallet seeds? I tried download the file to verify its content and it has +500 MB (maybe to avoid being sent to a online virus scanner?).

Wiping your PC is not enough. You need to change all your wallets and passwords. Everything on your PC has baeen compromised.

We have already had at least one case in which the user of this wallet lost his coins. From what can be read in this thread, it seems that the modus operandi is the expansion of the link through social networks, in this case Telegram. Of course the added thing is that the scammer also promises some free coins for download this wallet. As an additional deception this page is identical to bitcoin.com, which is just one more step towards a successful scam.

I report that site to Google a month ago, but they are still not blocked.

They are not related to bitcoin.org
I would stay away. I couldn'd find much information about them and I never heard of.

They just registered their website in 31 march of 2020:

Stay away, do not insert your seed (12 words) in their web wallet, it is probably a scam.

This is a SCAM!

When you click "Download BitGo Core", it leads you to /restore.php which asks for your wallet seed.

If you are just a legit user concerned about this - and not the scammer, owner of this website -, do not do anything in this website. Where did you find this website?
