Hi, yes I can remove it from your computer just follow these instructions please:

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Right click to run as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  


• Press Scan button.
  


• It will produce logs called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  


• Please copy and paste the logs back here.

Leave your router off overnight. You might be fine regardless because hackers are profound liars. And many scammers pretend to be hackers and make idle threats.

Assuming your WiFi password is not re-used anywhere, it is useless beyond knowing it since he would already have access to your machine which is internal beyond NAT.

If this person isn't lying, they'd obviously do more than just grab your cached network password from your machine. Threaten to DDoS you too? They sound retarded.

Exactly what I was thinking, why do so little damage? lol
