So, I guess I should just tell my story first then, y'all can decide and make your opinions..
I was downloading this audio amplifier software in April 24, 2017. In the installation of the software, I was told to Accept an ads offer. I declined it, but it still downloaded some malware, and extra software that aren't necessarily harmful to my PC, but
are of no use to me. So, of course I uninstalled it. But, there is this svcvmx client (32 bit) program running as my background process. I have been searching for a way to remove this virus and/or malware and I none of the methods really work..
Previously, way before April 24, 2017, I had downloaded another software that downloaded some Russian Google Chrome extensions' (pop up ads, adult-games ads). I had successfully deleted 2 of these forever, but one is still in my PC somewhere..
BUT, that is not the main problem at the moment. I want to Reset my computer. So, I went toRecovery -> Reset this PC in Windows settings. I click onGet Started nothing happens. I have seen other discussions about cursor having blue circle then nothing happening after that, but for me, that doesn't even happen. So, I triedAdvanced Startup , but my computer just restarts normally. I mean at this point, I was starting to believe whatever I had downloaded is a virus of some sort.. Oh, and I also tried the holding Shift while pressing Restart like you would normally
from Start Menu, and from the Lock Screen, but same result..
So, now that you read all that. I want to know either how to remove this malware/virus and how to fix this error on Resetting the PC. And if some genius out there would explain, what exactly an malware does to a computer, like does it just pop up some ads,
or actually take your private information. And I don't wanna lose my PC. :p
