Task Manager

On 3/14/17, I installed ImgBurn freeware on a Win7 PC and picked up a ton of malware. I think I've removed or crippled most of it via various removal and monitoring tools, but I am uneasy because it seems something is still lingering. The machine seems to run fine, but in Task Manager I see...

Well, I don't know anything about computers, and I reset my computer because people told me that COM surrogate was a virus. Every time I open up the task manager there are 2, sometimes 3 open, but then they disappear shortly after. I saw another thread that said It wasn't, as long as it was...

So my Laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 300-15ISK, i got it back 2016, on task manager it says it is got 4 ram slots but when i open the panel on the back i visibly only see 2 ram slots, no they don't stack and would they be deeper on motherboard or under more panels? and second question i am not sure...

I was playing games with a friend online and I started lagging heavily. We started the usual routine of alt-tabbing and checking our task manager to see whose fault it was and I noticed rundll32 (location: /Windows/system32, on W8.1) was at high disk and network usage. Things stabilized after a...

I have a 5-6 year old Dell Inspiron 14R (N4110) that I use for light tasks. Task manager often shows my disk at 100% and performance grinds to a halt. Is it worth updating to a SDD? My specs are as follows: Intel HM67 chipset Intel Core i3 2310M 2.1Ghz 4GB RAM DDR3 (2x2) 500 GB HDD @5400RPM...

Hey guys, I was given a laptop in its box (brand new) last year (Toshiba Satellite L50-B) running an intel i7 and AMD Radeon R7 M260, considering the specs, it gets extremely slow at times. I've attached a picture of the task manager with Firefox Quantum (latest update) with two tabs opened as...

Whenever i start my pc a task called brhost.exe runs everytime and uses around 30% of my cpu , and i have to use task manager to close the task everytime i start my pc.It is not detected by windows defender as a virus so im not sure exactly what this is , but im pretty sure its not supposed to...

So today I was playing some games and I realized that I was dipping in frames quite a lot. I went in to task manager only to find that MalwareBytes was using all of my RAM. I closed it and re-opened it and it just starts climbing up with RAM usage. Here is a video: I have uninstalled it for...

So recently i reinstalled avast free antivirus (i uninstalled it because of some problems) and when it was installed i was greated with worse problems that i had before uninstalling it. Before i uninstalled it i usually ran a scan one a week and completely disabled it when i wasn't using it...

Over the past few weeks I've noticed by CPU usage spiking to 100% for about a minute several times a day and it's never done that before. Under task manager > processes I have these items called "niikbxa.exe *32". Sometimes there's only 1, sometimes there's 6 of them. Whenever CPU spikes, one...

Hi, i bought this laptop yesterday and it has been over running without doing anything, when i open the task manager it shows that disk is being used at 100% which sometimes drops to 50% but goes up fast at 100% and keeps staying like that, also i noticed that CPU mostly is running at 100% which...

So, my internet is so slow lately and when I checked the task manager it shows that svchost.exe keeps downloading something. And I've tried everything that internet told me like disabling BITS and Windows Update and it doesnt solve anything. And one more problem, everytime I reboot my laptop the...

I had noticed recently in task manager that a process that is called Windows Process Manager (32 bit) (AKA pwobumg.exe) and it is taking up a lot of RAM and sometimes CPU and it is getting annoying and I'm 99% sure it's set to start up but there is nothing and when I go to the startup program...

I have a background process (virus?) that will not go away. Tried all of the malware/adware/virus programs to no avail. Also tried a lot of unlock/delete programs with no luck. The exe is called psezhlwsvc.exe. All online search sites find nothing on the exe. Upon further digging, using Process...

I noticed a process in task manager called COM Surrogate, after googling it seems like its a virus, I cant delete the file either, but Norton and Malware bytes don't pick anything up. It was taking up almost 50% cpu usage and I have a gaming cpu so no ordinary process should do that. It seems to...
