PUM.hijack.regedit/taskbar

Hi there Bleeping Computer folks!

I've been holding back from posting here for a week now and hoping I could solve the problem on my own. The only good I've done so far though is clean my machine from unused programs. The thing is still there.

I got it about a week ago from a friend's external hardrive and after that, my pc started acting up. Regedit got disabled, the taskmanager too and a bunch of other security features from windows.

I tried scanning it with malwarebytes then and found the jerks but they kept coming back. Tried a whole bunch of other malware scanners but the same thing happened. They just kept coming back. So far, aside from the task manager and regedit, the machine is working well. I want to remove it though.

Another thing is I've been seeing these .exe files with random filenames like the one in my d:\ drive right now for example: rxukp.exe. I tried deleting them but they kept comming back. Found out that there's an autorun.inf on the same drive and tried deleting it but process explorer said it was being used by a program or something. I killed the program, deleted the autorun.inf and randomly-named .exe file successfully but after a few while autorun.inf came back and there was a new randomly-named .exe file with it. Found out too that it was now using another different program this time when I tried to delete it. It's like it's attaching itself to a new process everytime the other gets killed. I'm not sure if that's a part of the same malware as the one disabling my regedit but it's there.

So yeah, I think that's the most detailed account of my situation I can do right now. Can you guys help me? I've been lurking in this forum since I got the virus and you've helped a lot of other people maybe you can help me too!

Kind regards!
