It might help if you could get rid of the malware with some other program.

Try e.g. AdwCleaner or Malwarebytes both can be downloaded from here. I would try the AdwCleaner first.

https://www.malwarebytes.com/

If the computer is unresponsive, you should stop the antimalware service temporarily using Task Manager. Just right click on the process and select end task.

If the above programs are able to eradicate the pests, reboot and see if the antimalware service starts behaving any better.

If they don't find anything or are unable to fix, I would try a respected antivirus next, e.g. Bitdefender is pretty good at finding and fixing.

People are using their precious remaining lifetime to try and help, so it is common courtesy to come back and tell what the solution eventually was even if you found it elsewhere. It is for the benefit of everyone.

Again it started and it is now happened two to three times after cleaning with the Malwarebytes and the awdcleaner everything becomes fine but after downloading something from the crome or from other thing again it starts

Hmmm..maybe the pest is still lurking somewhere or has left some damage behind.

You could still try what Bitdefender is able to do or suggest.

If no help from that I would advise you to turn to the pros at the Bleeping computer forum:
