spyware or background process slowing down overwatch and battlefront

[David_24]

I ran spybot but it froze up i havent rerun it yet.
I tried to run selective startup. I hit apply after unchecking load startup items but then when I open msconfig again its somehow reset back to normal startup.
Nothing else is slow because its not using the whole cpu but my games are definately running slower.
windows 10

I think I got it from downloading some freeware webcam recording software.

all i use is free spybot & avast. can you recommend some other free services that might help. thankyou.

To make sure it's a background process check "Task Manager" while you're playing games to see what your CPU usage is at. For malware and adware, I recommend:
- Malwarebytes (https/www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/)
- AdwareCleaner (https/toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/)
