Accidentally downloaded a Trojan.Dropper which Malwarebytes picked up, how to ensure system is clean?

So I was trying to download an arcade game, everything seemed legit and I guess I was too excited to play it I started running it - only after clicking it I decided to run a scan on both Avira and Malwarebytes. As it was running Malwarebytes picked up a Trojan.Dropper, the game itself works but I deleted it promptly after quarantining the malicious file.

Now reading about droppers says they tend to alter your registry keys and create hidden files. In fact, Avira sent a prompt saying something just tried to edit my registry. I have no idea how to look for those to ensure my system is clean. How should I go about that? I've done a full system scan on both the software.

I've used a registry scanner and scanned for changes in the registry within 1 min before/after the item was quarantined which came up to about 101 entries, would it be best to put that into a pastebin to see if anything could have been malicious?

Thanks
