Hello Ghythybhy,
If you are going for a clean install, be sure to pay special attention to step 5 of the tutorial that Mitchell linked;
If the problem is indeed malware, than a complete reformat is required to make sure that your clean install isn't directly infected.gregrocker said:

You mentioned that SFC didn't go past 44%, but I'd like you to try it again just to be sure;
Please use the SFC /SCANNOW command as displayed in option two of this tutorial.
- Click on the .
- Open an elevated command prompt.
- Type "SFC /SCANNOW" without the quotations.
- Let SFC do it's thing, and then prompted to, restart.
If SFC found and repaired anything, please do the following:- When restarted, open an elevated command prompt.
- Type (or copy) the following, this will create a .txt file on your desktop;
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"- In your next reply, please attach this file using the method displayed in this tutorial.

Good luck and keep us posted,

I have MBAM + MSE + the Microsoft Defender Offline installed on my system both didn't detect anything.
SFC /SCANNOW still stops at 44% and i forgot what it said when it stopped.
I'll be doing the SF Diagnostic Tool now
I'll do this as soon as ESET Online Scanner is done and SF Tool.
Btw CyberPowerPC - we ordered in the US and my dad brought it here in the Philippines so yeah cuz it was Black Friday when we bought it.
Good, thanks for the update!
When you are done with the SF Diagnostic Tool and ESET, you could try the options I listed in the note with SFC, so that SFC will run from the repair disc. It will most likely work then:)
Good luck and keep us posted,
Nommy
Thanks for the help i'll keep you guys updated! this is frustrating cuz everytime i open a MY Documents, My Computer, a Folder, RIGHT CLICKING! it makes the WINDOWS EXPLORER crash zzz
Does Explorer.exe also crash in safe mode with networking?
If not, you can also run the scans and tools from that mode.
You can follow this tutorial to see how to get into safe mode with networking.
Be sure to select safe mode with networking in the boot menu, as you won't be able to run ESET / use the internet from regular safe mode.
