I still would like to see some of the printscreen i asked for. Just telling us..
Also would like to see the totalvirus url of the scanned file: wlanext.exe
Most cases malware uses powershell or conhost on the first run of infection to get the payload on the machine, and then stops doing those things. So you won't see it constantly running... And then just inserts/hijacks a running process at startup without it running its own.exe file, and you won't even see it.
If it is really an infection, i would do a fresh reinstall.
If you want to figure it really out, i would attach a debugger to all processes, and see if debugger detaches, or getting access violoation on the attached programs..
Also install a firewall that reports on all outgoing traffic, and then only allow processes to access internet you trust. like 70% can be defaultly block.
A free firewall, can be as simple as the malwarebytes firewall control: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/296798-malwarebytes-windows-firewall-control-wfc/ Then when you get a virus/malware, it cannot defaultly connect to the internet.
