    Default In over my head

    I have used SPYBOT 2004-present. All I have ever done is monthly or when I think about it click the SYSTEM SCAN and leave it alone for a few hours....but not now...and I think is has to do with windows 10.

    I thought the quick like a dinosaur response time was a result of too much data stored on this little computer but the other day I got this warning

    and then ....looks like two programs are running - they both say active - but the security center only shows defender with no way to turn it off and spybot on.

    I am beyond frustrated...intermittent checks to task manger show system usage at 99% on hundreds of background applications running.

    I don't want to start doing things I don't understand in a blind attempt to "fix" what I don't even know is broke.

    I apologise if I am posting incorrectly - but I am more confused than ever after reading these thresad for the past few hours. Any assistance or guided direction is greatly appreciated!!

    That message is not from Google or Microsoft, it is a Windows support scam.

    Someone should take a look at the system, to begin that process please start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum and a volunteer analyst will advise.

    First see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.
