Windows Powershell spamming exe files

[cwb143]

I think I have a virus but not being detected by Kasp. Total Security 19.0.0

Over 400 WIndows Powershell exes populating on my taskmanager 

overloading my CPU. What can I do to stop this? Malware tools?

Thanks for any advice.

Also,

Will it still persists after you restart your system? Check msconfig and startup items for suspicious entries.

HELP. I am getting the same issue. The 100% CPU clog is starting to slow down my internet browsing and other work operations. I have updated my Kaspersky Total Protect to the latest version. 

I tried restart, and fixing the error using malwarebytes etc. But nothing works so far. I tried the GetSystemInfo tool but it didn't generate the GetSystemInfo.zip on my desktop -

Comodo seems to have worked something out:

My apologies. 

The powershell issue was caused by one of the software I installed - I have notified the software coder, uninstalled and revert back to previous version and it resolved the whole issue.

I managed to identify which software by looking into the command line it was trying to execute in the Task Manager -> Details tab -> Right click and Select to reveal "Command Line" column.

Hope this helps other people getting the same issue.
