    Windows powershell using 3gb of ram, also suspicious startup that cant remove


    I dont know if powershell comes with windows 10 or no, or i was careless trying to install some android fixing tools and they had a package of different programs and if this was one of them, when i saw chinese text on that installer ofc i stopped it but idk some stuff might have gone through, i think i never seen powershell on the processes list cuz it might been way down the usage but i recently started seeing it, also i have a setup_1.exe on start up, that cant remove, on taskbar shows that the file is on "app data\local\temp\is-lHm15.tmp\setup_1.exe" i disable it but the file doesnt exist o

    :)

    Windows PowerShell opens up at Startup

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

    Windows PowerShell might be one of the Startup programs on your computer. All the Startup programs are launched at Startup by Windows. I suggest you to check if the
    Windows PowerShell program is enabled on the Startup. To check the Startup programs press
    Ctrl + Shift + Esc Keys together and open Task Manager. Go to the
    Startup tab and check if Windows PowerShell is listed. If it is listed under the Startup programs, select it and click on
    Disable. Further restart the computer to check if the issue persists.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Windows powershell using 3gb of ram, also suspicious startup that cant remove

    Powershell suspiciously high ram usage

    Lately, Powershell pops up for less than a second, and I see it hogging 2 GB of ram in the task manager. It's obviously malware, but I can't seem to remove it.

    In a similar post here. the moderator adviced the user to download a recovery tool from the following link:

    Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

    Then, the user had to scan the PC with it, upload 2 logs and proceed with the removal. Anyone here who can help me fix this thing? Obviously virous scanning with WIndows Defender and BitDefender didn't work...
