Depending on what VNC program you used and whether you set up a secure pipe within, basic VNC is unsecure and open to abuse. It's likely that the firewall and Windows Defender will have been 'told' to open a port to allow the VNC to work.

This Trojan downloader (BATFtper.gen) is linked to rootkit activity therefore your machine has likely been compromised and there is no way to be sure the computer can ever be trusted again.
It is dangerous and incorrect to assume the computer is secure even if the malware appears to have been removed. In some instances an infection may have caused so much damage to your system that it cannot be completely cleaned or repaired so you can never be sure that you have completely removed a rootkit. The malware may leave so many remnants behind that security tools cannot find them. Tools that claim to be able to remove rootkits
cannot guarantee that all traces of it will be removed. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of malware, the best course of action is to wipe the drive clean,
reformat and reinstall the OS. Please read:
