Oh, blockland. The perfect place for tech support!
Just kidding, I dont need help. But i was browsing through the services in task manager, like i do every so often
like 2 years lol
and just search them up on google to find out what they are and stuff. Well i looked up "windefend" which i saw and apparently it said it was harmful here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/windefend-21842.html
and on some other online forums and they said it was spyware/malware. (also i guess its supposed to be a windows defender phony). I did a full avg scan and turns out i had malware, but that was removed. When i go to task manager it's still there in the services- not removed. Probably a different malware file I had that it removed. Im not sure if it is bad or not, although everyone is saying it is.
(just used someone elses image bcs too lazy to do it myself)
So do you guys have this same thing? Let me know.
also i havent seen any signs of it causing anything bad. no high memory usage and my computer isnt being slower than usual. cmd and task manager(obviously) still work.

Download malwarebytes, threat scan, if it doesn't remove use combofix (Or just do the three R's, Reformat, Reinstall the OS, Restore from system backup.)
