I've been having a frustrating issue with my laptop ever since my uncle installed some bypass software for Samsung. After I turn on my laptop, it randomly opens a bunch of blank tabs, each labeled with different random website names. I've already scanned my laptop with QuickHeal antivirus, but it hasn't detected anything. What other steps can I take to resolve this problem?

Based on what you’re describing, a clean install of Windows might be your best bet. After that, change all your passwords using a trusted device to ensure your accounts are secure. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
It sounds like that software might have introduced some malware onto your system. I'd recommend uninstalling it right away and running a deeper antivirus scan if you can. Also, consider switching to a more reliable antivirus program if QuickHeal isn't cutting it for you.
Windows actually comes with its own built-in antivirus, which can be pretty effective. If it were up to me, I’d create a USB installer for Windows and wipe everything clean. Then, reinstall from scratch to make sure there’s nothing left from that software.
Before you do anything else, make sure to back up all your important files. After that, the best course of action would be to either wipe your laptop completely or perform a factory reset on Windows. Just make sure to back up your data while you're offline to avoid further issues.
