When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

My computer is hanging extensively when any browser is opened. In the Windows task manager, there are eight different svchost.exe processes showing up. I have run updated Malwarebytes and nothing shows up as a threat. Also, when using Outlook, it repeatedly asks for the password even though that password is already stored. I don't know if this is related to a possible infection trying to lift passwords or keystrokes. Any insight is welcome.
