What antivirus are you running?

 

[dorsetknob]

if you do not know what this exe file is then you probably have virus/malware/trojen problem

Does it have a digital signature? Upload it to Virustotal and post the link here

THERE'S YA PROBLEM.
You downloaded a virus.

I have yet to see an Anti Virus that doesn't have an "Exclude File/Folder" function, even Windows Defender have it (even though it seems to forget from time to time), so no reason to run your PC without any protection, just exclude stuff you don't want it to mess with. This way it should still be able to pick up any random infected exe that spawns around in your file system. Also, it's a good habit to upload any *.exe with questionable origins to VirusTotal before running it

Probably correct.

A lot of cracks will tell you that they need to be excluded from AV because of a false positive: their behavior is similar to a trojan and will be picked up by AV. Unfortunately, sometimes it's more than just similar to malware...

Yup, virus. Is Windows Defender updated/working? If not, turn it on. If yes, seek a professional for help.

Yes this is a virus, it is likely a cryptocurrency miner using your hardware/electricity to donate itself some money. It may also be keylogging or tracking your network activity, and sending it back home for someone to hack and sell your accounts and CC info, etc. Think that's a bit much?
Well, sorry to say but it's a thing. It happens. A lot.

The first thing you should do is run AdwCleaner!

Use all the "Basic repair actions" in settings to reset your firewall and undo any back doors you may have now.
Those quick steps will do a better job than any AV you install. Although at this point I would recommend you ensure Windows Defender realtime protection is enabled and update Windows to v2004 if it hasn't already. (Look in the update section in settings).

Also, I'd seriously recommend changing any critical passwords like your email, steam account ($$$), banking/paypal, etc. Or better yet get a password manager like Dashlane or Lastpass and have it do that for you.

Anyway you almost certainly got that virus from a bad torrent. If you don't have a keen eye to tell which ones are fake with 100% certainty it's best not to risk it. If you pay attention and understand the details it's completely safe. Trusted uploader, expected size, upload date, etc.
If not... well you know.

There is one other way you could have gotten this. If you don't have a good ad blocker setup. I can't recommend uBlock Origin specifically enough. Especially with the Fanboy Ultimate filter. An ad blocker is probably the most important thing you can do to improve your quality of life full stop. lol

Reinstall windows without installing cracked games afterwards.

 

[micropage7]

i have some cracked games

yea, thats the answer, one of some of your games that cracked contain virus or somehow malware like

uninstall the games and use antivirus to fix that, if it's bad you should consider reinstall your OS

now just pick one clean your pc without those cracked games or run those malware like but you have the games

 

[lexluthermiester]

Based on the screen shots, the "cracked" games are unlikely to be the problem. The "Internet Download Manager" seen in that list is far more likely to be the culprit.

usually IDM just using patch to bypass and not using background app, except he picked the wrong one and ruin his pc

 

[prince_liman]

the problem is the firewall because settings is off
thanks so much for these good replays
