I practiced a similar question where disconnecting from the network was emphasized as a priority. I think that’s what Gabby should do.

Running anti-virus software could help, but I think it’s more critical to prevent further access first.

I’m not sure if shutting down the computer is the best first step. It might just make things worse if there’s malware involved.

Running antivirus software is a good idea, but I'm worried that might not be enough if the attacker has already gained control. Isolating the system seems like the priority.
