    Hi,
    Use Clean boot,
    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/179159-troubleshoot-application-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html
    Click Start and type in the search box,
    msconfig
    Click on the suggestion on top or hit the Enter key,
    Go to the Startup section and take some screen shots for a complete list,
    Go to the Services section and on the bottom left Check the box to Hide All Microsoft services,
    Repeat the screen shots,
    See the links above my signature on how to take and upload screen shots here,

    You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
    Manually Update them before running full scans,
    Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
    Uncheck the box to Activate the Free trial from the final install options,
    Also use the Custom scan option not the Threat scan,
    Select the drive to scan usually C,
    If your really infected check the box to scan for Rootkits = this scan option will take several hours to complete,
    Never use your machine while scans are running for best results,
    Please Do Not clean/ Delete or Remove Any detections before posting the scan results first before review especially Malwarebytes,

    SAS is safe to remove anything it finds

    This one is the longest up to 4 hours, the others are only about 45 minutes,
