Sorry, this is my first thread, so I don't really know what to put in terms of information, but I'll try to explain what happened.
After installing some shady program, I instantly knew something was wrong, and before I could open Malwarebytes, a screenlock virus got into my computer and displayed the generic "FBI, child pornography" virus. I turned off my computer and then rebooted it. I then opened up Malwarebytes and was able to exterminate the virus, Trojan.Agent.ED. A while after the virus was gone, I checked some of my programs to see if they would work. I opened up CCleaner, and it wouldn't open. I opened up Adobe Photoshop, and it wouldn't open. From suspicion, I checked the Task Manager and looked at the list of processes, and the program was there, but it wouldn't ever show itself on the desktop. So after a bit of inspection, I realized that if I opened a program, it would start the boot, and then almost immediately stop at a determined memory usage point. (Ex. I opened Photoshop and the memory usage gets stuck at 8,090 everytime with 0 CPU usage). I have done a System Restore before, but it always seems to come back some way or another. This is extremely annoying, I need some help with this please!
