You’re going to need to give more information than this zero context screenshot. Is this a virus scanner? If so, which? Why are you scanning? What caused this series of events? What’s the full content of this popup?

Absolute worse case scenario: whatever you’re doing will not irreparably damage your PC. If you break windows or whatever you can just wipe your pc and reinstall windows via a usb stick. However, it’s not clear what’s going on here.

I was waiting for a comment like this. So uh , months before this happened my pc was not turning on well it di but it only showed a black screen , i called in a friend to help me fix it and he fixed it 👍

after a couple days alot of weird things popped up as saying " _ failed to start" the i dont suspect anything but it kept appearing over and over and when i play a game the game it crashed saying " _ Is uncompatible with wininit.exe / svchost please remove or stop it." well something like that so i became a little bit suspicious so i searched up about wininit and svchost . it turns out wininit is from system 32 so i decided not to do anything abt it.

Then i installed 360 total security because im cheap as hell and while i was just doing nothing a popup from 360 total security saying to stop wininit because of something so then i opened up 360 total security and scanned it and it turna out i have 526 issues in my pc because i had no antiviruses

i remove all of those except wininit because im afraid to break it because i have no idea how a pc works . and it didnt detect svchost as an issue though.

Thats all

Install and run a reputable malware removal tool. I’d recommend hitman pro. It should be able to clean your PC. Norton is garbage.
