Yesterday I noticed that Com Surrogate was using a lot of resources, so I scanned with Malwarebytes Rootkit Remover and that picked up in the folder Appdata/Roaming/DLL had 2 files that were related to bitcoin mining, after using the tool to remove them they came back after reboot, I did notice however just before they appeared in the folder, there was a 7 Zip folder called VS_Files.7s that I presume extracted and put the 2 files into the DLL folder.

I did have some software that might have caused this that has been since removed, I have also done the farbar recovery scan and attached the files below.

Thank You

As of right now the files haven't come back even after a few reboots so the issue seems to have resolved thank you
