Windows 10: Activation key " virus "

So, my dad's friend, which is a tech guy, made a fresh install of windows 10 on my pc, but the problem is that he used a cracked activation key from cracks now. I asked him why was he using a cracked key if that can mess my pc security and he said me to not worry about. After that when i started to use my pc, i received notification of windows defender that it found 2 treats: both HackTool:Win32/AutoKMS ,one of them is from the day of the installation and is relationated with cracks now and the other one is from yesterday (i only used the pc these 2 times and only connected to the internet for windows updates).

What should i do? If i remove these treats will i lose my activation key? Can these treats lead to more dangerous "virus" like ransomware or trojans or i could be hacked? One of those treats had something related saying rootcert: [bunch of numbers]

Ps. Sry if i sound dumb xd but im inexperient in this area. Also english is not my first language.

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

 

Activation and Updates

Thank you. I will uninstall Comodo Anti-Virus and Firewall then. Which of them does a better job of defending, would you say? Comodo or Windows Defender?
