Scanned my pc without me doing anything?

I was just minding my own business on my pc when suddenly my cpu usage went high, and malwarebytes was using 100% disk in task manager. So, i opened malwarebytes and for some reason it was scanning my file system. However i did not do anything to initiate this. I finished the free trial weeks ago and i dont have the premium version, just the free version. Windows defender is my main antivirus too so im not sure as to what activated this scan. Is this normal?

Possibly broken LED on the Antec c5

i got the antec c5 around winter time last year. i noticed recently there is a what looks to be like a broken led on the front panel strip. when the rest of the case is blue, this led shows green which hints toward a blue led is broken. i got this case from amazon and im not sure whether i can get a replacement case or front panel would be even better. Im not the best with pcs but im not sure if you can simply replace the front panel with another one instead of having to do a case swap.

thanks

just wanted to ask a quick question regarding bans

my account was made in 2015. so around 2019, me being a stupid kid decided to make an alt to play roblox condos. i was in a group and im pretty sure i left but this was ages ago. throwback to now im kinda scared my main will get banned if my alt gets banned. i dont even remember the username to that alt account so idk whether or not it got banned. however if it somehow gets banned even though it was ages ago idk if i will get enforcement banned. i also remember one small detail of younger me saying somehting about "69". what do you guys think of the situation? ya think ill get banned or na. if i were to get banned on my main what type would it be? (termination, enforcement) and will i still be able to make a new account on the same pc?

i acknowledge breaking the rules of roblox, but then again i was just a mindless kid

Is this just a software bug? Software is acting up. I'm starting to be paranoid whether i downloaded SignalRGB from the right website

I'm starting to be paranoid whether i downloaded SignalRGB from the right website. Sometimes when i try to click something like a different type of light mod e.g. solid colour in the app, it redirects me to another website. This is detected by Malwarebytes browser guard. It's also the same when i click an ad on purpose; it redirects me to my browser and malwarebytes warns me. I downloaded it from this link https://signalrgb.com/download/ i scanned the link with virustotal which showed nothing and i scanned the installer as well, showing nothing. I was wondering if the overlay is glitching over the mod but im not sure.

The video showing what i am experiencing is this:

Is this normal for a microsoft defender offline scan?

I recently performed a windows defender offline scan in suspicion of a virus i downloaded a month ago (i already reset my pc via usb). However when i opened windows defender after the scan was finished it said the last scan was only a quick scan from yesterday. Is this normal? It also asked me for my bitlocker code when my pc shutdown before doing the scan.

Do i have malware on my pc

So i downloaded malware a month ago, and i did a usb windows reset to try and get rid of it. Malwarebytes and windows defender found no viruses after the reset. So now, i tried to login to pinterest but it wouldn't let me. Seconds later i get an email saying that someone logged into my account in south carolina. I'm in the Uk. I was wondering could this just be an ip glitch? i mean it happened seconds later after i tried logging into my account.

Question regarding malware and usb reset

so recently (a month ago) i downloaded malware onto my pc. this was a mistake. so i decided to do a usb reset with fresh installation media from a clean laptop. my question within the period of time i plugged in my usb and restarted my pc, the malware could have jumped into the windows files of my usb and i just reinstalled the malware? for more context, after i downloaded the malware i reset my pc via cloud download and remove everything. i felt too suspicious so for peace of mind i reset my pc via usb

Is geometry dash Geode mod safe?

So recently i downloaded Geode and installed it. It runs perfectly on geometry dash with no problems, but is it a virus? i ran the installer through virus total and 1/70 got flagged. windows also warned me before running it that it could be potentially unsafe. https://geode-sdk.org/install this is the link that i installed it from.

Weird Windows 11 Bug regarding sound

When i plugged my airpods into my pc to charge, it made a different notification sound as usual. It was much blurrier and not as clean as the original sound and it's been bugging me. I'm not sure if it is a virus or if there is a solution to it, but i feel like i tried everything to fix it. Link https://youtu.be/hCBJdDhCVcg

My setup:

  • Arctis Nova 9x headphones
  • 9070xt (amd gpu)

OS number: 26200.9168

I've already tried changing the setting for the sounds e.g. windows default, but it didn't work or change anything.

It didn't make this sound before. Also, the link to my youtube shows the difference of the sounds. The first one is the one im stuck with and the second one is what it used to be.

EDIT (SOLVED): I found out the reason why this changed. On dark mode, the sounds are different due to a recent update. If you change it to light mode, the sounds would be the same as before the update. I'm pretty sure it is just a bug windows will have to fix in the future, but overall it's nothing that important.

Frame rate dropped after Windows reset

I played games like Fortnite and Minecraft on my pc. I reset my pc because I got a virus, and now those games are running slower than before. Could anyone find out the reason as to why this is happening?

On minecraft, i would run it via lunar client and would average around 300fps with shaders (9070xt and 9800x3d). Now i average around 150fps. On fortnite I would get 700, now i average around 300.

Thanks.
