I've been experiencing some weird behavior on my computer lately. For the past few days, I've noticed these seemingly human-like messages popping up in my search bar. They include phrases like "I don't know what this is, I'm not hacking your PC" and, "damn, f*** you, you have a really good processor!" as well as more generic ones like "What is this?" The strange part is that these messages appear in my mother tongue, which makes me skeptical that it's some sort of AI or automated software. I've checked for any suspicious background apps or viruses on my PC, but everything seems normal in terms of performance. I'm really curious if anyone knows what might be causing this and how I can fix it.

It sounds like you might have accidentally downloaded something sketchy. Have you recently installed any new software or games? Sometimes, these random messages can be attributed to adware or malware. Make sure to scan your system with a reliable antivirus program to see if anything pops up.
I did download some cracked Adobe products, but I used reliable sources. If it was a virus, I’d expect my PC to be running poorly, but it’s performing just fine and I can't spot any shady apps.
