Is my computer hacked?

I usually listen to music on YouTube music, but recently when I decided to do so, it said that the service is not available in my country (which it is).

I did some research about problems like these, and decided to let it go for a bit, thinking it’s an issue coming from Google.

What made me worry was that whenever I opend Google, under the search bar, it said “google offered in…” – and it was the Urdu language, and the location down to the left was Pakistan. I changed my region in the settings – nothing happened, restarted the pc – nothing, installed update – nothing.

Also, whenever I open any type of maps app, it shows my location as Pakistan. Ran a full scan, found a virus linked to a windows activation app, deleted it, restarted the pc, everything came back to normal for two minutes, now..same thing again.

I would really appreciate if someone could tell me their opinion about this.

Edit: Now when I’m trying to open notifications about actions against threats, I get a message saying: “Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information.”

Edit2: Is there any way I can get rid of this without having to do a full reset?
