Found a folder in which short video recordings captured from the screen, a virus?

Good time! Lord, I'm confused. I found a folder in which there are videos from my desktop. The videos are short, not all of them open. The longest video where I register on a popular site, and for example, a video where games are running, short 1-2 seconds long. The most unpleasant video where I go to my personal account on the Federal Tax Service, in addition to the password, in general, all contact information is highlighted. The folder called "sharp" is located on the second HDD where I have a lot of files stored. I use the first disk under the system.
I have already ruled out the possibility that I myself accidentally press the hotkeys to start capturing the screen. I still assume it's a virus.
Please advise what can be done first. Kaspersky does not find viruses, I also do not find anything suspicious in the process of a hacker, the system is not overloaded, the computer is powerful.
Of course, I understand that most likely you need to reinstall Windows, but still I want to watch for now. The folder was created a month ago, the frequency of video recordings is once or twice a day!
I confess that a lot of software was installed from torrents, most likely an infection from there. On the date when the folder was created, no software was installed.
In general, I ask for advice on what else you can try at the moment.

Do you have MSI AfterBurner on your computer?
Which can record video from the screen (when installing RTSS included in the kit).
Incomplete files are written just with the extension * .avi.prerecord

You said in the comments:
I, not knowing what Movavi is, googled it.
There is an idea that a program downloaded from torrents that contains a module for recording video from the screen, which you yourself added to the exceptions, may contain a Trojan that brazenly uses its capabilities.

Doesn't look much like a virus.
Most likely someone installed a Trojan on your computer by hand. Children, bad friends?

Look at rules of an exception of an antivirus. Perhaps someone really installed malware, adding it to the exceptions.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
