  2. There are lots of ".exe" files in system32 and its taking areound 100GB of space.

    Thanks. Open an admin Command Prompt and run:

    • schtasks.exe /delete /TN "\OmApSvcBroker" /f
    Restart Windows and delete C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\MSI NBFoundation service\OmApSvcBroker.exe.

    Delete all the junk executable files in the System32 folder to reclaim disk space.

    Follow up with a Malwarebytes scan.
