Random processes and changes to my PC

by adam470 Nov 15, 2018 7:00PM PST

So I was recently on YouTube and downloaded a compressed ZIP file but since there was a random setup.exe without any software name I canceled the setup>. And the next day when I log in to my PC Microsoft edge was open and had many useless tabs OPEN and even if I close them they again reopen one by one. I checked my Startup processes and saw that some new stuff were there like:
> Check this snap : https://imgur.com/gallery/cPDUUVY
I marked those process in red
And I disabled them also and another startup process was created and had enabled status
ALso I ran uninstaller.exe in there location but nothing happens so I permanently deleted the files in their location but another folder with the same files creates automatically with a new name

Plus Microsoft edge is my default browser and it keeps opening even if its closed interfering in my work and open some specific sites repeatedly
Please help me out
