  1. I was hacked but i might have some weird tasks running


    I recently downloaded an extension from google which had good reviews but it seems it was a trojan virus https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/buster-captcha-solver-for/mpbjkejclgfgadiemmefgebjfooflfhl?hl=en. The extension works fine but they tell you that if you download the app on your pc it's going to work much better but instead of an app I only got a virus. I noticed that my mouse started moving on its own and I immediately turned off my wifi and removed all viruses with malwarebytes. Problem is, in task manager there's some weird tasks going on that I'm not sure I've seen befo

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

    Display All running Tasks Dialog Box in the Tasks Scheduler do not show all the running tasks

    Hi Francesco,

    If a scheduled task does not run when you expect it to run, ensure that the task is enabled, and also check the triggers on the task to ensure that they are set correctly.
    In order for us to efficiently assist you, we just have few questions for you:

    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Were you able to check if the task is enabled?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you already performed?

    Regards.
