Social recommendations and mentions

• Looking for actually good antivirus.

  Bitdefender and Kaspersky have excellent free offerings. Kaspersky is lightweight. Both updates tend to be seamless.

• A program I wrote myself is being killed by Windows Defender, has anyone run into this?

  It happens since Defender is known for being false-positive happy. Some image files can be malware masquerading as malware but in this case, it does not sound like that's the case. Kaspersky offers a free AV that you should try, you do not have to keep it as your main AV but do a trial run, do the work you were doing when Defender flagged supposed "malicious behavior" and if Kaspersky Free does not flag it then...

• The only Antivirus ad that I ever seen on TV. Since this ad, my Dad purchased Kaspersky on his laptop. He just purchased for a year and the rest of that laptop lifetime showing, "Your antivirus not active for ### days!" Makes me think if there is Antivirus product with lifetime purchase.

• fuck this shit I might do a factory reset it's just way too hectic, and yes I tried a lot of scanners and malware software but nothing scans this shit and it just keeps using my pc for mining fuck this shit

  Run a follow up scan with HitmanPro and if it finds nothing do one with Rogue Killer. Then for safe measure switch to a new AV provider if you haven't already, Bitdefender is the one I recommend and it's free: https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html; Alternatively you can use Kaspersky Free: https://usa.kaspersky.com/free-antivirus.

  I would recommend uninstalling it and replacing it with a better security solution such as Kaspersky Free or Bitdefender Free, both of which have a better detection rate than McAfee and don't require a subscription. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Help with ClientPCSpeedUp

  I would try to upload a sample to VirusTotal like ilike2burn recommends. If it's running in memory process hacker should be able to kill it if you know which process(es) it is.
