As of yesterday I have noticed a suspicious process in task manager that seems to replicate WinUpdate.exe
It is listed in process list as Win Update.exe (same but with a space) and its description is "botom". I wasn't able to find anything on the Google but there is also a yellow red and blue icon when alt-tabbing that has no title and does nothing when you select it, but it goes away after ending the process. (Now there is two of these icons and one is gone after ending the Win Update process and I'm not sure how to get rid of the other yet). Anyone have any clue what this could be? I'm also currently scanning with Malware Bytes while I'm going AFK for a few hours
