Its a scan that the anti virus restarts your pc and before windows can start it checks everything. Once the OS starts some virus have ways of avoiding detection. Avast has a boot scan as well as many others.

alright ill try that does the free version have a boot scan? ill just download it rn anyway
Yes but it requires install when you try to run the boot scan.
yeah just downloaded the stuff i needed for it it was taking like an extremely long time so im gnna do it when i go to bed. gtta figure this out cause i just upgraded to windows 8 and it deleted basically everything so im really wondering what it could be
Yup boot scan take a long time depending on how much data is on your HD/SSD's.
ok so i did the boot scan and then had it running while i went to bed. i woke up and my pc was on running like normal how do i like view the results?
If you didn't set it to auto delete virus then I guess you didn't have any. Try the malwarebytes.
it was set to when a threat is found "fix automatically" instead of delete. idk all good ill try it again. malwarebytes never finds anything except a setup file for another web browser i was trying. my space isnt really changing anymore idk what it is ill keep trying stuff though
O so probably got the virus. The only other possible cause would be windows updates. If you have steam it can really add a lot also if you have a bunch of games.
