I was having a browser hijack issue in Chrome and ran Malwarebytes which didn't fix the issue, and then ran Adwcleaner, rebooted, and the system is now running like absolute trash and taking 5 minutes to load all of the startup programs which typically took under a minute. I am having lag when moving my mouse, the taskbar at the bottom of the screen is taking 15 seconds to appear when I place my mouse down there. I just clicked the icon to open up an Explorer window and it took about 20 seconds for the window to appear and then about another 10 seconds for the window to actually populate with icons. What in the world happened? I saw someone had the same problem recently after running that program and it was recommended they download FRST and run the fix text file which I did and this is what is still happening
PC is now running like trash after using Adwcleaner
