I asked this same question on my original account that I no longer have access to. Yesterday when I turned on my computer a tab opened that is just a blue screen called

C\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

I got an answer saying to disable it from startup which did not work. I got a comment that said I probably installed something that wants to run a script at startup but it is unknown is it is malicious or not due to lack of information. I got another comment saying to run a program to tell me the process and copy and paste it so here is that:

"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"

I need to know if I should be worried about this happening every time I start my computer or if I will be fine and a solution to get rid of it would be very helpful.


Solution 1:

That one seems probably to be malware thing. You should run an antivirus on your computer asap but you must to run it from a USB stick. I recommend you do create a Kaspersky USB stick.
