Hello, I have recently found my laptop to be running at 100% CPU whenever I open task manager but it quickly dies down only when I open task manager. I found what is causing this, it’s called “System Interupts”. I tried scanning my laptop with multiple different virus scanners. Windows defender 2 threats show (windows defender can’t delete them) I used scannow in command prompt (shows nothing) tried installing avast, rootkit revealer and AVG antivirus (all of which were shut down and couldn’t install (I assume because of the malware/virus)) any other threat protection stuff I try to download whenever I open the website it shuts down my browser. Lastly I tried to reset my whole PC and delete everything (the settings app crashes or doesn’t respond to me clicking the button) please help me
First of all, you do not need to and should not be using third party anti-virus apps. Windows Defender is the best you can use as a normal consumer. Secondly, the only way to completely and properly remove malware is to wipe Windows and do a fresh install. Note this does NOT mean the Reset options in the settings, it means to do a complete wipe. https://rtech.support/docs/installations
I just did a complete wipe, but when I was using windows defender I scanned for viruses and it came up with 2. It wouldn’t let me remove both at the same time so I removed one, but the other reinstalled it.
