    Hi Kestrel

    I seem to have been infected with this malware that creates a bunch of fake windows processes taking up resources. I see you helped with this particular malware before, what should I do next. Which logs do you need to see?

    Update: I found your Malware removal guide topic and just installing mb.exe and running it once seemed to have cleaned the conhost/notepad/etc. malware. Now CPU load is back to 0% :D

    Hi dvdmtg,

    Glad to hear things are much better after you ran Malware Bytes, if you need any further assistance, you should work your way through the entire malware removal guide and upload all of the requested logs.
