Windows 10: I found this file on my computer called CanicsCasyda.exe like 99 percent sure its a virus...

Whenever I try to forcibly stop it in cmd it says its been terminated but then immediately reopens I assume because I go to delete it and it says its running again.

How to remove Gallery.exe (Virus)

I've been dealing with a virus named "Gallery.exe," and despite my best efforts, it keeps coming back. I've taken several steps to remove it, including formatting my disk, but it still manages to return. I was able to spot this suspicious exe running in my background, I tried my best to find it's location but it kept opening File Explorer with no signs of that exe. When I opened the exe location using Task Manager it opened 'C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming". I could not see the exe in that location, I somehow opened the exe properties and saw the hidden option on it was greyed out. So I used the command "attrib -h -s /s /d" to unhide the file and then I was able to see it. I deleted the file but then, it kept coming back with every restart. Since then, my windows is going insane, the Windows anti-virus keeps deleting genuine files like, AMD Software, Google Chrome, and windows apps itself. My different apps started behaving weird and all.

What I've Tried So Far:

• Formatting the disk and performing a clean install of the operating system.
  
• Running multiple antivirus and anti-malware scans.
  
• Installing all available Windows updates and patches.
  

Unfortunately, none of these attempts have been successful in permanently removing this pesky virus.

System Information:

• Operating System: Windows 11
  

Specific Questions:

1. Has anyone encountered a similar virus issue and successfully removed it? If so, could you please share your experience and the steps you took?
   
2. Are there any known vulnerabilities or software that "Gallery.exe" may exploit to keep reappearing?
   

I'm open to any advice, suggestions, or guidance you can provide. My goal is to get my computer back to a virus-free state and ensure it remains that way.

Thank you in advance for your help and support. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!

Best regards, Rehan Ramay
