Is My School Laptop Showing Signs of Malware?

Asked By CuriousCat34 On

I've been noticing an odd issue with my school laptop. Whenever I open it, Microsoft PowerShell pops up, but the screen is completely blank. After some research online, I saw that this might be a sign of malware. I checked the task manager, but there were tons of processes that looked weird to me, and I got overwhelmed trying to figure out which ones were safe. There were two antivirus programs running, but my laptop says there's nothing wrong with it. I'm really paranoid about malware, especially since I can't run a full scan without admin access. I don't want to mention anything to my teachers unless I'm sure there's a problem. Any advice?

I work in IT, though not in a school setting, and I can assure you that PowerShell opening doesn't necessarily mean you have malware. It could just be part of your school’s system processes. If nothing else seems off, you might be in the clear. However, just to be safe, avoid using the laptop for sensitive tasks like banking or social media.”,
