TLDR maybe take a few minutes to verify programs that deal with your operating system.KMSpico is a tool that is often used to activate Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office products without having to purchase a license. Needless to say I just unplugged the 3 connected hard drives, which I should have done in the first place, and fully wiped them instead of opting for a restore point.

There was a third program generating these, and not blindly, when I deleted one set it made another 2 and put them in folders discretely named within some folder systems. After flailing around for a bit I end up being able to delete both exe's.

Disconnected the network, opened task manager, and wow, it's pretty smart: it had 2 unique processes that would launch only twice, so as you cannot inspect the containing folder and delete it right away, and there were 2 of them. Not adware, but was actively trying to upload and download data as fast as possible and as discreet to it's knowledge as possible taking up very little processor power, the only way I noticed it was as by chance I had netlimiter up just beside the window and it was going crazy. Download it, install, and oh boy, was the virus vicious. Instinctively for whatever reason I go to google, and scour around for no longer than 10 seconds to find a website that looks legit enough like a source for KMS. I'm not sure what happened exactly with my key, but I did use KMS for office and the like, so maybe the recent update from defender also removed my licence key for windows along with it, or KMS might just overwrite it. I'm don't know what came over me I saw the 'activate windows' watermark for the first time in years, which was extremely odd because I knew for a fact that I had upgraded to windows 10 from the most legitimate copy of windows 8 anyone could get their hands on (it was a gift from a family member whom at the time worked as a software engineer for microsoft). This'll be a longer story, but I think it's quite interesting.
