A short expert summary and practical follow-up.

This thread shows a classic rogue-startup/spyware pattern: an unknown process consuming most CPU plus nonstandard Browser Helper Objects and temporary “web‑installer” entries. The immediate steps taken by — boot to Safe Mode, remove the suspicious startup entries and clear Temp — are the correct first‑response actions for this class of infection. (See a standard removal checklist for similar cases.)
BleepingComputer: Remove malware guide

Recommended next steps (concise, ordered):

Post‑clean actions and cautions:

Run System File Checker (sfc /scannow) to repair system files, change all important account passwords and enable MFA, and keep software up to date. Because Windows XP is unsupported, migration to a supported OS or a clean reinstall is strongly recommended for long‑term safety.
SFC guidance · FTC: password and breach guidance · Windows XP lifecycle (end of support)

Notes: disabling suspicious autostarts with Autoruns is safer than immediately deleting DLLs from System32; if persistence continues or instability remains, a full reimage/clean install is the most reliable cure.
