I admit I was stupid, I got some trojans, they say they are gone, but I think no..... in games, I don't have the same fps as others on youtube with certain settings and a laptop.... I really need a professional because I don't believe in youtube... I would also be able to reset the PC, but only at the worst

    Personally I wouldn't. I would just use it as an on-demand second opinion scanner. Use Windows Defender as you main antivirus or Kaspersky. If you don't plan on using Kaspersky, uninstall it.

    Hello,

    If your antivirus tells you that you don't have a virus anymore, it's probably likely that you don't have any anymore. If you still think you have one, you can run full scans on your computer with the antivirus. If the people on YouTube have better frame rates than you, it's probably because they built it with the highest specs possible, like adding lots of RAM and processing power.

    Hope to hear back from you.

    Maybe you're right, I'm probably stressing unnecessarily

    Hi Jozef,

    please run a scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and share your logs.

    Note: If you are using Edge, SmartScreen may initially block the download.

    Click on the three dots next to the warning and select Keep => Show more => Keep anyway.

    • Run the tool, leave the default settings, and press Scan.
    • Zip the logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, then upload to a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive or gofile.io
