About a month ago I needed to get MS Office for a school project, and I had Win 10 so I (not knowing that it installed adware) used a certain program to activate it. I THOUGHT I removed all the viruses from it but obviously not. (The application has since been uninstalled) Starting about two weeks ago, Malwarebytes AND Bitdefender started detecting Trojans and Registry keys in every scan. I kept removing them, they kept coming back and still do. (Just assuming this is that program's doing because I haven't really downloaded/installed anything since then.)
Now when I start up my PC, my RAM usage instantly rises into the 90-100% range. It does this even while idle with no programs running, which of course makes my PC very slow and it's very annoying. Normally I would just format the hard drive and reinstall Windows, but I don't have a copy of Win 10 lying around, or any other copy of Windows for that matter. Any advice on what to do would be very helpful.
