So on Process explorer I found this process "LiveUpdate.exe Product Updater (32 bit)" from IObit and 4 virustotal engines detected it as dangerous. Is their any way for me to found out what the process is actually doing and if it should be removed?

    Hi Jack

    Yes, that IOBit LiveUpdate is a legitimate program (that you don't need) that is meant to keep your software up to date, to be honest, if you did not deliberately install that, it probably installed with some other software on your PC, the best option, is to go to Settings - Apps and uninstall IOBit LiveUpdate

    Do you have any of the IOBit utilities installed on your PC?

    Please provide a screenshot of the Processes tab in Task Manager, showing those processes
