    Hi,

    C:\ProgramData\347163.vbs is not a legit script file. The system is most likely infected by a miner.

    Please delete the above file and follow up with a scan using Malwarebytes.

    Download Malwarebytes Antimalware and run a scan. Eliminate every piece of malware it finds. Malwarebytes should also get rid of all adware and PUAs and browser hijackers.

    Note: the Malwarebytes setup may activate the Premium trial (15-day) version. After 15 days, it switches to the free version automatically.

    Post the detection report here.
