I have yet to run the Farbar Scan Recovery Tool, but hopefully you will find what I have provided to you thus far useful.

 

Thanks and kind regards,

[CPU Spiking, programs hiding]

Hi, I have Malwarebtyes for Windows 10 and have had issues in the past with virus removal, but this is my first time on this forum. When I check my task manager, my CPU will be at a ridiculous percentage (80-100%) then quickly fall back down when I open task manager. I've run Malwarebytes 3 times so far to no avail, and am worried for the health of my system. Any help?
