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.

Unplugging the network cable or disabling the wireless NIC sounds like the safest option to me. I don't want to risk the attacker gaining more access.
