Hello there,
So last Thursday, I got a virus on my computer and swiftly brought it to Geek Squad to help clean up and fix, since I have protection with them. When I got it back the problems seemed resolved, but now a new one has appeared, that was not an issue before. Every now and then Microsoft Powershell will randomly appear on my task bar, causing me to have any full screen things minimized, but I won't be able to open Powershell in a larger window to see what it is doing. However if I close it through right clicking close on my taskbar, it goes away. But when I see things like powershell or system32 in the top bar on the minimized version of powershell, I get worried, and since this is right at the end of recovering from a virus, I'm feeling extra cautious and paranoid. Upon google searching, seems this has been a problem with some pcs, but all the ways to resolve the situation are different, and then I found this forum and a similar answer, but the staff member cautioned the solution might only be applicable to the original topic poster. Seeing Malwarebytes frequently mentioned in the google searches as a good way to remove malware, I downloaded it and cleaned my computer up a bit, however I did not touch or quarantine files that said "Potentially Unwanted Product." I quarantined the files labeled as "Malware", but when the problem of Powershell opening randomly on my taskbar again came today, I then made sure to delete the quarantined "Malware" files a few minutes ago. I haven't touched or quarantined the "Potentially Unwanted Products" in case they might break something on my laptop. I know that with Spybot Search and Destroy if you removed 'n-case files', it would cause problems to your computer, why I'm airing on the side of caution here. Is the problem perhaps in these "Potentially Unwanted Products" that I have 69 of? Or could the problem perhaps be something else entirely? Thanks.
