Issue with virus

I am trying to find some information about certain virus that is related with cryptocurrency.

Basically what happened was, somehow I got infected by a virus and it was only targeting any exchange where I had an account (there was no logins on these exchanges from any other IP address).
It was when I login on the exchange and I try to deposit, so when I click on the deposit window to show the deposit address it would always be the same deposit address and the QR code was missing. It was almost like a some kind of virus that has connection with the inspect element of the site when you access it.

So, let's say I login on Binance, then I click on deposit BTC, and the address is completely different on my PC then the one that I am seeing on my tablet and on top of that the QR code for the BTC address on my PC is missing while on my tablet I am seeing this completely fine. And this was not the case just with Binance but with any other exchange.

What I did was I performed a full clean and format my computer. From what I can tell is that none of my passwords or documents were stolen. I even had a wallet with some BTC on it and it wasnt stolen at all however I did changed every single password and re-did all my 2FA so I can be safe.

I guess this virus was all about modifying the inspect element on any site that has relationship with BTC deposits.

My question is, is anyone familiar with such a virus? And it wasn't the case where some viruses modify what you have copied in your clipboard this was like I said more of like an inspect element type of thing on the website.

Thanks for reading and let me know if anyone can find some information.
