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.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot but I'm having trouble entering comments into youtube and google. And if it is in the wrong spot could someone put it in the right spot?

Well, here's what keeps happening. I click a "field" to type something in and the little "flasher" letting me know where I type won't show up, then I have to bring up the task manager to get it to show up. Other times I press "enter" after doing a google or something and the computer won't "get" that I've pressed "enter," I'll have to bring up the task manager again then press enter and it will go. This happens every time I try to type something in and it's getting annoying.

Also, when I try to enter a comment into youtube the little "post/comment" part won't show up, to get that to show up I have to bring up the task manager, see what looks suspicious, close it, then the comment/post button will appear.

There's also a few suspicious looking process' running. A lot of svchosts and one of them seems to consume a lot of CPU power, sometimes it's running at 100%.

So, about a week ago I updated malwarebytes and scanned it, it found nothing. Now I'm here asking for help lol. There's nothing "serious" with my computer (no blue screen etc), but I think I have some sort of trojan that's sending my info someplace.

So, give me a list and I shall run everything and do everything required.
