I added the command line like you said but it came up with a command help prompt window...i assume they updated the command to simply " -dontencrypt",,,so i swapped that in for the command you gave me and continued the process. The scan is running now. Will update when the scan is complete. Thank you again.

Hello again, So my PC has been dogging ever since I installed a new mining software that had just come out, My IT senses were tingling and I just had to try it to find out what mining was like; my mistake. Luckily It was on as lab computer and not sensitive info is on it. Ran Malware bytes (Frree) and it popped up with 5 different malware items...and I know the installation file had some sort of chipset binding, was a red flag but to late to stop after installation had started. The name of the software is called Kryptex. I notice it most when using any application that is not a system program like explorer or powershell etc. The malwarebytes scan came back with 4 trojans and a riskware malware programs. Any help is appreciated as always I feel like Im your best and worst customer Addition.txt FRST.txt

May have given myself too much credit in the title; but I am just noticing this really now. I just installed a CLC AIO into my new computer and afterwards my computer has been "sluggish". It froze last night was sluggish today and I just noticed that my BIOS was reset. Any ideas as to what to look for/suggestions for troubleshooting? MSI B550 Plus with Windows 11 Home Please and thank you.

Yeah some students were unable to run virtual box; I had no problems even running 2 VMs at the same time so the laptop does what it was intended to do; and will now again thank you so much! So much more information I am learning that I would not have learned in the fast tracked curriculum at the university, so I am taking the change with a grain of sugar xD. Just learning about CPUs and how they work with memory now but I am having fun even just transferring notes from paper to Word, so I know I will enjoy the field and hopefully find the dedication to continue learning through out my career. Thank you for the kind words! Again, thank you for the help! kprm-20220322125705.txt

I do know passmark but I don’t know how one score relates to another except maybe what percentage of performance one CPU has compared to another. What that percentage means is beyond me. I actually started studying Cybersecurity last year at UCF and they required an INTEL i7 processor; my knowledge of CPUs told me that Ryzen outperformed the 10th gen Intel CPUs but Intel was the requirement so that is what I bought. After getting into class I saw that other students had Ryzen and even M1 processors so I have been a bit resentful since; I know I could have bought a better Ryzen laptop for the same price. The only resource demanding operation I planned on using the laptop for is virtualization; which I had no issues with but that was a while ago. I couldn’t afford the tuition, so as one of my instructors suggested I bought some courses on Udemy and actually decided to get my A+ cert which was not taught in the course at UCF. I have since tried to stream with streamlabs, not having issues there really, and playing Valorant, where I have had great issues although the system requirements seemed to be adequate unless I am misjudging the G7 graphics controller. If it looks good to you I believe you! Really, thank you so much! I am glad there was at least a little thing wrong and you were able to help me out. Thank you most kindly

OHHH I see... I just assumed that since 4GB was the requirements it would be using less. I was going to ask you about where to save these tools/utilites. An uncle, years ago (Windows XP), told me to not save things on my desktop to conserve ram and that the quick launch was the best option for those files. I still have FRST in my downloads file...Should I move it, Should I keep them out of the program files folder (I don't know which ones are 32 bit or 64 bit), I was thinking of just making a "recovery" or similar file on the CDrive.

It actually didn't even spike this time. I am attaching a screen grab of Task Manager (post opening the browser; just as I started typing this reply). The spike was maybe 30-35% when opening just now (earlier it did spike all the way to 100%, which I have not seen) RAM Usage has been over 4GB (of 16GB) even as I turned on the laptop (nothing opened but task manager).
