Funny but yeah all the same source. All of the .exe files were installed on the same date at the same time.
The hackers often obfuscate their malware and that's the reason why most anti-virus software and scanners can't find the malware in a system. Of course after reading your posts and reading most of the posts in this thread, I also came to the conclusion that your computer was infected with a malware and that's the reason why your wallet was drained.

I also suggest you to always keep your wallet and wallet related information in a separate system because these days hackers try their best to steal Bitcoin. I would also suggest you to try storing your Bitcoin in cold wallet as that's much safer than the hot wallets. Personally, I also use Electrum wallet on Windows and so far I haven't faced any issue. I must say that I have separate system where I connect my wallet and kept it there and it has been safe for me. However, my holdings are still in a wallet that not connected to internet.
