  3. Do I have a virus? Please read..

    The other day whilst doing science homework (researching neuroplasticity), i clicked a website which i thought was going to help me (i do not know what website as i have cleared my history thinking it could help and if something did happen that it wouldn't
    get any of my passwords) and it came up saying something about malware or security issues and i had my sound on and it kept repeating something about my security being not safe or something like that. I opened task manager and clicked end task to Microsoft
    edge. A bunch of things that i had never opened were in my 'Apps' section (i can't remember what they all said but they were all the same i think they may have been COM Surrogate i have had issues with that as well in task manager since read on and ill talk
    about it) and i clicked end task to each. I opened Microsoft Edge again and quickly exited the tab before it loaded, i then went and cleared my history and passwords. After that i was worried that i had a virus so i ran a quick scan on windows defender it
    said nothing was wrong, I then ran a full scan and it said nothing was wrong again.

    I then went on task manager again to see all these COM Surrogate things in the background processes section, after about a second they all disappeared except two which are currently still there. I have no idea if they used to be in task manager before any
    of this happened.

    Today, my laptop was being a bit slower than usual and (I'm sorry my memory is terrible at the moment) i was looking on images for something as a background for my English work and i was switching between that on Microsoft Edge and Word, it looked like it
    glitched or something because it looked like word and images had merged together. After getting home from school I searched if COM Surrogates are viruses since i have no idea and I read something on this website saying it could be a virus and found an app
    called Microsoft Safety Scanner, i downloaded it did a quick scan nothing came up, i then did a full scan. During the Full scan my laptop went black, i thought it just went to sleep but when i hit the space bar to unlock it, it stayed on for a second, and
    then went off again and reappearing at where i was up to in my password, it did this 2-3 times throughout the scan and stopped when i plugged my laptop in to it's charger. The scan finished saying that there was no viruses or anything detected. It says at
    the bottom 'If you continue to experience issues, please ask the community or submit a support case.' So that is what i am doing, as i am writing this everytime i need to backspace something it is very slow and frustrating and takes forever to backspace, I
    do not know if it is to do with whatever is going on with my laptop or if it is the website, but if it's the website it needs to be fixed.

    Anyway, please help me and tell me if this is a virus and tell me how to fix it if it is.

    Thankyou,
