  1. Browser Assistant wont go away


    I recently updated to windows 10 2004 and after the fact, Windows Security hits me with a virus called Realistic_Media_Browser_Assistant so I did everything I could to remove it from my programs list. Installed multiple anti-virus softwares and nothing still. After what seemed like forever I finally figured out to go to registry editor and find the hidden files there in which I did and Browser Assistant was finally removed from my programs. Or was it, because windows still says that the virus is active and still shows process: pid: something like that. Also when I go to settings to manage apps, Browser assistant is there with the size 43.7 mb. Idk what to do at this point. Am I infected not knowingly? My computer was running super slow on startup and power shell use to open everytime i started up my pc, but after I thought I removed browser assistant, it runs as it should if not faster.

    :)
