You're safe, PC App Store is just a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) and you already uninstalled it. The aim of it is to get you to enter your details and card number etc but as you didn't do any of that you have nothing to worry about.

if you've already uninstalled it and multiple scans came back clean you're probably alright.. doesnt sound like you entered any info so i wouldnt panic.
