via Windows Run a couple of days ago. Realized what I had done today after seeing a post on it.

What should I do? is full system wipe necessary? or can I remove it somehow?

If I need to do a system format what about attached drives and other devices on the network?

Don't do this - plugging in an infected drive can infect the secondary computer; you may wish to plug it into a linux or other hardened system to get the data however. The post by @silverdiamond is a better response.
