MKDB's post in My PC has malware on it but Malwarebytes isn't catching it was marked as the answer
@AgentMScarn82
We will use Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) to run a fix. FRST was downloaded together with MBST and should be located in your download folder: C:\Users\jkees\Downloads\FRSTEnglish.exe
The fix may take some time, please be very patient and do not interfere.
Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to your download folder, which is C:\users\jkees\Downloads\ in your case. You will find the file FRSTEnglish.exe (FRST) as well in this folder. Note: It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
Close all open programs and save your work. Run FRST. Press the Fix button only once and wait. Please be patient and do not interfere, even if FRST does not respond for some time. That's nothing to worry about. Please note: This Fix will remove all temporary files, empty recycle bin and will remove cookies and may result in some websites indicating they do not recognize your computer. It may be necessary to receive and apply a verification code. Please note: This step resets your Firewall settings and you may be asked later to grant permission for legitimate programs to pass through the Firewall. If you recognize the program, agree to the request. If the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart. FRST will create one log now (Fixlog.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach this logfile to your next reply.

Step 1
Please download AV block remover, unzip it and rename it to AV-B-REM.exe.
Or you can use its random named version.
If the virus still blocks the utility, then try to run it in Safe Mode with Networking.
Follow the instructions. After reboot you'll receive AV_block_remove_date-time.log. Please attach it to your next post.

You are using illegal software:
As mentioned above, I do not support pirated/illegal software.
Moreover, you do use a very outdated version of Windows 10, which is not supported any longer by Microsoft:

A backup of all private data and a clean install of windows 10 (without any illegal software) is the way to go for you:

MKDB's post in I have a clipboard injector/hijacker malware. was marked as the answer
@dsen
I strongly recommend to uninstall every kind of illegal software from your system now. There are signs in the logfiles that indicats that these illegal software is responsible for your malware problem.
Please note that the malware may re-apprear again if you do not remove this crap.
So please remove/delete/uninstall every illegal/pirated software from your system now.
After that, please run the following FRST fix first in order to remove malware and check windows system files.
This may take some time, please be patient.
More steps will follow.
Thank you!
Step 1
Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to your download folder, which is C:\users\clame\Downloads\ in your case. You will find the file FRSTEnglish.exe (FRST) as well in this folder. Note: It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
Close all open programs and save your work. Run FRST. Press the Fix button only once and wait. Please be patient and do not interfere, even if FRST does not respond for some time. That's nothing to worry about. Please note: This Fix will remove all temporary files, empty recycle bin and will remove cookies and my result in some websites indicating they do not recognize your computer. It may be necessary to receive and apply a verification code. Please note: This step resets your Firewall settings and you may be asked later to grant permission for legitimate programs to pass through the Firewall. If you recognize the program, agree to the request. If the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart. FRST will create one log now (Fixlog.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach this logfile to your next reply.

MKDB's post in SVCHOST.EXE infected or virus pretending as Svchost? was marked as the answer
Hello @Heart and
My name is MKDB and I will assist you.
Let's keep these principles as we proceed. Make sure to read the entire post below first.
Please follow the steps in the given order and post back the log files. Please copy and paste all log files into your post. Before we start, please make sure that you have an external backup, not connected to this system, of all private data. Only run the tools I guide you to. Please don't run any other scans, download, install or uninstall any programs while I'm working with you. As English is not my native language, please do not use slang or idioms. It may be hard for me to understand. If you do not respond within 4 days, your topic will be closed. Cracked or hacked or pirated programs are not only illegal, but also will make a computer a malware victim. Having such programs installed, is the easiest way to get infected. It is the leading cause of ransomware encryptions. It is at times also a big source of current trojan infections. If you are running any kin of illegal software on your system, please uninstall them now, before we start the cleaning procedure.
Step 1
Please download the Malwarebytes Support Tool (MBST). Run MBST and accept license agreement. In the left navigation pane of MBST, click Advanced. In the Advanced Options, click Gather Logs. A status diagram displays the tool is Getting logs from your machine. A zip file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your desktop, please upload that file on your next reply.
