Hi, recently I might've accidentally installed some adware and in a desperate effort I've tried to clear it from my computer. It caused my computer to slow down and lag a lot, hijacked my both Firefox and Chrome browsers but I managed to clear them. I've also managed to uninstall most of the auto-installed adware in my computer but there is still a problem, temp files that are automatically created every time I boot up my computer. Even though they were deleted, they still managed to pop up after booting up. The temp files also blocked any antivirus companies (as shown below), and will re-add them back into the untrusted publishers list despite removing them. They stop re-adding once I stopped the processes. I suspect that these temp files might have slowed down my computer as the CPU and RAM usage has increased.
Steps I have tried to remove them:
