Greetings.  My first post here.  And sorry from some wrong English grammar.  From SE Asia.

 

I have recently removed a miner that increases my CPU and GPU temps and usage disguised as a RealTek audio process (I found it inside the folder of a VIDEO GAME's Roaming).  It's gone now but the minute traces of might might still be there.  Which might be a catalyst to my new problem.

 

Recently I have seen multiple instances of regsvr32 and iexplorer in my Task Manager. And I'm worried because it might not screw my PC's performance and increase its temps/usage % (in my end though) but it might affect the first 20 mins of a computer's stability turned on from a cold boot.  It might be doing a memory leak and increased RAM storage though, which I am worrying right now.  I need help very fast.  Thank you. I have provided a screenshot of my Task Manager.

Separate Replies for each log is probably easiest.
 
Download : ADWCleaner to your desktop.  Make sure you get the correct Download button.  Sometimes the ads on BleepingComputer will mimic the real Download button which should say: Download Now @BleepingComputer
 
NOTE: If using Internet Explorer and you get an alert that stops the program downloading, click on the warning and allow the download to complete.
 
Close  all programs, pause your anti-virus and run AdwCleaner (Vista or Win 7 => right click and Run As Administrator).

    # Check Scan Archives
    # Push the Start button.
    # ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
    # When the scan completes, push LIST OF THREATS FOUND
    # Push EXPORT TO TEXT FILE , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
    # Push the BACK button.

    Right click the aswMBR.exe and select Run As Administrator to run it
