1. Does anyone else have access to your computer?

2. Do you have a strong password/

3. Do you run regular AV scans?

4. Are you sure you do not have something installed? Not even shadowplay?

5. Panic, reformat your HDD, and reinstall windows.

I feel like you still have something installed - its EXTREMELY rare that someone would install a screen capture software on your system. Double check your installed and running programs. Look up the name in google of any programs or running programs you do not recognise.

Run ccleaner and/or msconfig to edit your startup to remove items after looking them up on google.

Finally. BACK YOUR STUFF UP. Its like... buying a $60k car and not changing the oil. Your engine seizes because you didn't want to spend $50 on oil and a filter.

If your data has any value at all, keep a back-up. If it's just documents, a service like Dropbox is pretty much ideal for that. For bigger files like photo's, video etc. an external harddrive or even a redundant NAS system could save you a lot of headaches. Windows isn't perfect. There is no way the OS will survive the full usable period without any reinstallations.
