Hey there! I'd love it if someone could help me with this.
Lately (like the past week or so), my PC has been doing some strange things that I'm not used to seeing. Twice now, on two different user accounts, I've started the computer to find that once I login, my desktop and everything on it remains black, and I have to restart again to fix it.
Also, something else that's been happening the past few days that hasn't happened before. I can't leave a game running fullscreen in the background (Dark Souls III, for example) while I do other things without my PC stuttering after a few minutes. I'll check Task Manager to see how much RAM I have left, and I'm using around 6.5 out of 8 GBs, when I could have sworn it didn't take that much before.
Now for the worst of it. A couple days ago, I got an email from Mojang (the makers of Minecraft) saying that my accounts had been compromised. Fortunately, they reset the passwords, and I was able to change my login information. I know for certain that I wasn't on any shady websites recently, however, I have been running lots of different applications.
I know there's a lot I don't know about computer viruses, but I like to think I'm pretty good about taking care of my PC. I run MalewareBytes scan every now and then, but it has yet to find anything for months. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, lol.
EDIT: To clarify a bit better, I've been downloading and running programs (most of which use Java) that users may infect with RATs and Trojans, and on rare occasion, do not show up in VirusTotal scans, and apparently, neither do they show up in MalewareBytes.
