My Laptop is laggy as hell - King 69 - Mar 16, 2020
I think that I am infected because before I downloaded heaps of movies unaware of it can be infected. Also cracked programs (Adobe). I was wondering if there is any program that could help me mass uninstall programs with a program and can help me check if I am infected?

You installed cracked adobe. Congrats, you’re 100% infected.

You've hidden miner, i think.
Download a good antivirus, or reset your pc (BETTER).

I honestly feel like you should probably wait for someone that actually has decent knowledge on what could be wrong instead of listening to some of these fulls, however.. I would for sure install malwarebytes and run a full scan.

How even is it? I hate how people legit jump to that conclusion instantly, don't be a moron and listen to this guy, like I said in my post, just wait for someone with actual knowledge on this to post and you'll be sorted OP.

I did not jump to any conclusion mate, perhaps you miss read.
I SUGGESTED he get an illegal copy of windows as a joke, did not imply he already has one.
Then suggested what he really should do. Fresh install.

I wasn't even commenting on the fact you "joked" about him installing a copy of windows, I was commenting on the fact you instantly said to fresh install which is so dumb.

Given some infections pass through AV i suggested it.
A fresh install can be quicker than trying to clear infections.
Not only that windows tends to bloat on a good day so a fresh install nearly always gets the system up to speed again.
A simple answer perhaps but certainly not dumb. Cheers.

Yeah don't download cr4cked programs. Just get the original version or a trial or something.

Hello thank you for the help everyone! I am currently running a scan on my malwarebytes premium trial since I cannot afford the premium one!
