I'm having an issue where the terminal keeps opening multiple times whenever I enter a password on my PC. It makes me uneasy because I'm worried that someone might be accessing my information. I'm not sure how to resolve this problem and would appreciate any guidance.

Once you’re sure your system is clean, you might want to look into Autoruns. It helps you see what's running on your machine at startup. You can find it on the Microsoft website.

Just a quick note—what kind of password are you entering? Is it for a website or your Windows login? Either way, I agree with running Malwarebytes. If you don’t find anything, you might need to consider reinstalling Windows.

You should definitely try downloading and running Malwarebytes. Make sure to enable the scan for rootkits during the process. It's a solid first step to check for any malware that might be causing this issue.
