This explains a lot. - Alex Summers - 10-08-2016
So lately, my computer has been really slow. Well, slower than usual. Especially when it comes to my internet connection. I finally did a virus scan and figured out why!

Time to get rid of these and hopefully fix everything for the most part

Whatever the first program is you're using is quite literally malware in itself. Don't use that shit. Also, PUPs aren't exactly a problem, and the KMS Pico is a program that most anti-virus will probably false-positive. It could totally still be bad, but it doesn't look terrible.
But the first one is total bullshit. If you have to, get Avast! or Panda Cloud. Or Kapersky.

yep. That first one is a pretty old scam. They say "ohh you have all these viruses download our program" and then it actually downloads a virus onto your PC.

I would also say try using Hitman Pro, you get one free scan and remover, it's what I've been using along side malwarebytes for the things it misses.

Malwarebytes is a free scanning thing all of my friends use and it works pretty well

I use avast antivirus although it can be hit and miss with some games. (It's crashed a few of mine)
