hello,

thank you for that advice, i will try to solve my audio issue later, i am more concerned in cleaning my system because i think something is not right. some buttons are being turned on in my settings and others are turned off, its like there is a a file in my computer commanding my computer to do certain functions that i dnt agree with.

i just took a ss of something weird:

this is a screenshot of settings/network & internet/status/change connection properties in my pc

after dragging my mouse cursor or clicking tha switch

is it normal to have a small black square on the switch?

and i just saw this

i dont remember doing those white page files in my documents.

is there any way for me to locate and clean this things happening to my computer?

Hi

No real ideas, you don't mention what operating system you are using, just W10.

So either you are using sites that do install 'helpers' or you have been hacked.

.bash_history is not something I would expect on a W10.  bash = bourne again shell

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ it is a Unix/Linux CLI.      

So I use BitDefender, MalwareBytes and TDSS   to check my system.

I also have this     https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/krd18     

So maybe make an install USB after running the cleaners and before the KRD.
