I don't know if this is the right place but I need some help. I'll remove it on community's suggestion.
I think some bad malware has infected my PC.
I've never had viruses come through torrent, so downloaded a pirated Adobe Photoshop copy and I opened it, didn't install and closed the installation. But I think it installed a bunch of crap in the background while I was not looking. There were a lot of background stuff in the task manager, and I sourced them and tried to delete as much as I can.
This was all well until today when my PC started showing 62% CPU usage. I tried to run Defender, but somehow it put the malware folders in the "Exclusions" (and they come back few minutes after removing them). I tried to install Malwarebytes, but it kept making the folder "Read Only" despite how much I tried to change it. And it didn't do anything when I downloaded Avast.
If anyone knows what to do or anyone else that can help, I'll be very very grateful.
Thank you
