A lot of strange things have been happening with my computer recently.
Missing files, unexplained webpages being open, incredibly high cpu usage up to 100%.
I'll take a video showing the strange things and maybe you can spot something that I can't...
My specs:
CPU: i7-4790
GPU: GTX 1660
RAM: 16gb DDR3
Storage: 1tb hdd & a 500gb ssd
Video I recorded showing the task manager and verisign.bmp looked like before I deleted it

The way you do an "investigation" with stuff like this is to do a full forensic clone copy off to some other isolated hardware.
Then, on this main system....you wipe it clean.

Any playing around and "GOTCHA!" can continue to happen under controlled conditions on the other box.

Unless you like playing fast and loose with with your data, on a system that is known to be compromised.
