I'm not sure what to look for if there is something hidden. I cant tell if there are any odd processes but everything seems to be signed correctly. There is nothing odd in C root either and i wouldnt know what to look for from the folders. There are no odd installed applications either.
I have had similar scare before when I installed a game I downloaded from skidrow reloaded website.(over year ago) The installer did something with cmd window, something about system image, i dont remember anymore. The file was also too big for scanner to scan and I dont think virustotal accepted it either due to size. However, I did system restore after that.
I also asked an acquittance who works in some tech company to help, even showed the install process to him, but he said it didnt seem dangerous. I have also been running r-kill occasionally and doing scans with hitmanpro's early detection but they havent found anything either. I have also been occasionally monitoring things with tools from sysinternals but I'm not sure if i would even notice if anything was odd.
