I ran malwarebytes afterwards to make sure the malware was removed and it was. However, I´m not being paranoid of the leftovers of the malware and need to decide whether I should reinstall my windows which takes hell of a long time and backup my files.. or just feel safe now when I cant detect any malware. Help me please.

While I agree that generally, torrents are bad, there are some uses where P2P downloads (Torrents) are useful. Sure, illegal content is what provides the main problem and users should be extra cautious when engaging in such activities, but there are good sides for it. Hosting of files, faster downloading (sometimes).
