Windows 10: Why did i get so many viruses?

First, it all started on 5/8/24, It was the day before my camping trip and i just found a virus in my PC. How fun!It was called: PUADlManager:Win32/Snackarcin. Pfft, i can just delete it, right? NOIt turns out that i was unable to delete said virus, i looked stuff up on it and nothing worked. Oh well, i guess ill just wait to get McAfee or something.On the 10th, when i came back from my camping trip, i did a full scan on my pc... There was a second virus, called: Trojan:Win32/Lazy.CP!MTB. This one, however, was able to be removed instantly, but, something strange happened. The PUADlManager:Win

Question on viruses and documents

Once the virus is removed just use a reputable antivirus program like AVG. I suggest AVG because it does check usb devices for viruses automatically once you stick the usb drive into the usb port.
