I did a full deep scan with avg, at the end it said it only found one infected file/virus etc and it said:


html evil cursor-b [trj]


it was in quarantine and i have deleted it now, i checked the file location and it said it was from brave, which is a browser i used a long time ago, my browsers (chrome) which i no longer use was crashing often, just randomly closing, now with firefox its the same, it randomly closes, and says oops and closes my tab and asked me to restore it, any ideas if im okay now? or what it was or whats next?
 
Solution
I suggest that you remove all unknnown and unwanted extensions / addons from google chrome, mozilla firefox and Edge brwosers. Checkout your startup of your computer using MSconfig or startup folder.

Download malwarebytes, and rkill. Run rkill first and run malwarebytes afterwards.
