Hitman Pro will take care of it and you can try Malwarebytes too.

I'm guessing it came bundled with another program that you recently installed and you didn't realize it. I got into a very similar situation not long ago.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X            | Cooler: Deepcool AK400  | Motherboard: B550 Elite AX V2  | Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB  |

They helped me get rid of the viruses.

But they are both programs that you have to activate the trial for, but they both work.

Malwarebyte is certainly not sketchy. The difference between Free and Pro version, is mostly being able to have a Real-time scanner and a Scheduler. Other than the, the actual scanning process is the same. It also doesn't come bundled with a couple extra adwares.

The free version is a 30 day full trial IIRC.

Pretty sure there's no time limit on the free version of Malwarebyte, as I've used it for months on another computer.
