Hello, my computer somehow got infected with a malware that automatically changes the cryptocurrency wallet when using the copy paste function. I tried some virus scanning software on windows but it didn't work. - I checked and found that when I use the computer, every once in a while, the power shell automatically opens for 1 or 2 seconds and then turns off (even though I opened the task manager and turned off the power shell). In the wifi data usage history, there is a system software that consumes about >10GB/day. I can't find a way to delete it.

I don't know what malware I got, can anyone give me advice on how to fix it?
 
reinstall your windows is the easiest way
kaspersky could be better, but I would want to make sure problem is solved, so just reinstall that OS to be 100% sure

Because my computer has a lot of data and it takes a long time to back it up, I want to handle it myself without having to back everything up again.

I just got this code, go to %temp% delete it and restart the computer
 
I think it would be better to buy a new computer.

Well, double check your address before sending a crypto payment...I'm always doing that afraid of this kind of virus. Even after your pc is clean again, do that and transform it into a habit for you.
 
Just reformat that the solution, I occur this also once, Luckily only 500 USD. That virus changes the middle crypto address. Even if you copy-paste it, the Same thing happens.
 
What software did you try?
Just reformat honestly and stop downloading random plugins and crap
This!
Have you recently installed any software?
Was that software related to crypto (crypto casino/crypto game)?
If so, that's the problem. Clean it from your pc.

If the problem wasn't solved:
The issue is just on 1 browser, or on all the browsers you are using?
If it's just on 1 browser, check the installed extensions. One of them is shady.

When you do crypto transactions, always check multiple times the wallet addresses (both if you send or receive money).

I have an e-wallet installed online, I think that is the problem and I am deleting it
 
Disconnect from the internet immediately, boot into Safe Mode, run tools like Malwarebytes or HitmanPro, check startup programs with Autoruns, and consider a clean Windows reinstall if the malware persists. Secure your crypto by moving funds to a safe wallet and enabling 2FA on all accounts.

Yep you have to stop the malware from running from startup and then clean it.Autoruns and Process Explorer are good tools to have.
