Hi so i got a virus yesterday and from what I've read on the scans its called adware.elex. I dont know a lot about computer stuff so i just followed some steps from reddit and youtube on how to get rid of viruses/malware/adware and here is what i did:
i downloaded eset antivirus cause windows defender wont update and i scanned with eset and found a few threats
then i used rkill.com
scanned with malwarebytes
scanned with adware cleaner, junkware removal tool and then hitmanpro
after doing all of that it said it got rid of 2000+ threats
so I thought I finally got rid of the virus/malware/adware whatever it is
But today I got a notification from eset saying that they found a file "elex tech" and deleted it. I also get random popups from eset saying that they blocked a link one of the links is from cloudfront. Then I get popups from windows letting me choose which app I want to use to open a http file (i don't open it) cause I know it's the adware or smth :/
I ran another scan using the apps I used yesterday and there were a few threats found (in each app) and it said it got rid of it again/quarantine. So I searched up a few more guides on how to get rid of malwares/viruses/adwares and downloaded cc cleaner and zemana antimalware when I scanned with zemana I there were 2 more threats found.
Oh and I also have a lot of svchost.exe running on the details tab of task manager
So now idk what to do anymore idk where the virus came from all I literally do is watch youtube and play league of legends on this laptop but my brother use it too he said he didn't do anything ~.~ Is there any more way to fix this or should I just reset my laptop?
