There isn't much you can do. It will stop if you wait long enough.

AV is bad and I wont defend it. To the AV defenders though.... at least don't rely on some report which is touting insane levels of detection (99%+ lol).

Here is the data from VirusTotal, detection rates on the entire corpus for files with a detection rate of 5+ of the scanners listed:

I keep hearing stuff about Gmail being insecure and that advertisers can skim words off your messages to sell things or whatever.

Advertisers can target you based on a variety of mechanisms, this is true. Google won't give that information or your details to the advertisers though. That would be against Google's interests because then advertisers could target you directly, without continuing to pay Google.

You can generally trust Google to protect their income source, which thankfully means not handing out people's personal info.

The detections on the models are almost certainly false positives. Anything malicious is more likely to be in the other components.

You're probably fine.
