Hey everyone! I had a weird experience today. After closing the Minecraft Launcher, I heard a strange noise that sounded like unmuting a microphone, followed by a voice for just a second, and then it seemed like the microphone was muted again. Just to clarify, I'm not experiencing any mental issues, haha. At the same time, I've noticed my PC has been running slower lately. When I check Task Manager, my CPU hits 100% for a few seconds even though I don't have anything open, and nothing out of the ordinary shows up there. I'm currently running a deep scan with Bitdefender, but I'm wondering what else I can do to find out what caused that sound or voice. Any suggestions?

If you're worried about malware, the best course of action is to forget about antivirus for now and just completely wipe your PC. Back everything up safely, but be careful with documents or software; make sure to scan them with multiple malware scanners first. Media files should be relatively safe. Starting fresh can help eliminate all the uncertainties!
Thanks for the quick advice! Which malware engines should I use for scanning before reinstalling? Also, how long does a reset usually take?
