Suspected infection

Hello, I was having some small problems with audio, like hearing some random buzzes sometimes.

Some days ago i tried cracking office, i downloaded the wrong program and got infected with a lot of adware.

It was impossible to uninstall them, since they disabled windows defender, the chance to enable windows defender, deleted all the system restore points, and so on.

So i made a reset, keeping my files.

Since the reset problems became more and more. Screen lags while in idle, typing often repeats several time the last character or characters, audio buzzes more often.

I tried to do few scans, but i'm not very good as you would be in it, could i get any help? >.<
And why are file explorer and other windows processes using 100% of my i7 7700HQ?

You can always just try a free Malwarebytes scan and see if it detects anything suspicious, then post back.

it seems that there is something wrong. Can you please scan your comp with kaspersky (free version) and zhpcleaner and post the results here (or by pm if you want)
What scans have you tried so far?

MalwareBytes, MalwareBytes for rootkits, Windows Defender.

MSI technical assistance made me upgrade bios, firmware, graphic drivers, audio drivers.

The problem persisted until the audio driver reinstallation, so i upgraded realtek and removed nahimic (audio driver for msi notebooks).
Maybe there was a conflict between the two drivers.

I removed nahimic and took the latest nahimic drivers online. And left Nvidia drivers at the lower version they recommended me to install, without upgrading it.

The problem did not come back yet
Try doing a malwarebytes scan, shouudl work matey
Hey! I had the same issue a long time ago (Turns out I ended getting about ~1k worth of ad-ware and ~300 viruses in total)

and I did this which resolved all my issues:

Download Eset Online Scanner: eset.com/us/home/online-scanner/
Do an update, run a scan, clean what it detects

Then I went to Malwarebytes: malwarebytes.com/v2/
Do an update, run a scan, clean what it detects

Then I went to Hitman pro: hitmanpro.com/en-us.aspx
Do an update, run a scan, clean what it detects

And I was good to go from there, never had a single issue since!

I also recommend Sophos Home Premium (They have a free version as well which you can use) which works really nicely in protecting your computer.

Good luck!
