    Multiple instances of powershell running, using up almost all of my RAM

    Pretty much just the title, multiple instances of powershell are running for no reason and taking up all my RAM. I have a feeling that i somehow screwed up and installed a crypto miner. I saw a different thread of this exact same thing happening (here) so i already installed FRST and uploaded my zipped FRST.txt and Addition.txt files to frst.zip.

    I knowingly installed honeygain, but I just uninstalled it because i didn't really want it. Here is my fixlog.txt: Fixlog.txt

    I'm pretty sure that my license of Windows is genuine.

    EDIT: After reboot, i don't see any Powershell instances in Task Manager except one, so that's good. I'm gonna wait a bit and see if any more start,
