So while i was playing a game i noticed a wierd slow down in fps, so i went to find bytefence in task manager. So at this point i was trying to remember how it got here(when installing adobe flash) it slipped through. I have uninstalled it from my computer from control panel but the task still remains. I couldnt even find it in msconfig(after restarting). So when I went to end the task(Task manager) it wouldnt end. I also found a bytefence folder and couldn't delete because it is open in task manager. How do i take it out
 
Be very careful when updating or installing Flash. They'll often throw in an "enhancement for your computer" (paid advertisement) that you do not want, but it's not malicious. You should be able to uninstall it as a program through the control panel. Have you tried that?

Try using RKill in normal mode to kill the task and do a scan with Malwarebytes + Hitman Pro, should clean up the processes. If that doesn't help, try scanning with AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes and Window safe mode. Additionally, you can try finding the file path and looking which files still remain that active the exe. Let me know if this helps
