I have hidden malware for 3 weeks now, likely come with a game called Bow masters. It creates a pop under that locks my screen. It is an ad for QuantumAI and SmartBit Boost.

Yes, I have been installing every anti malware and antivirus, booting into Safe mode.

There is nothing in installed apps, and I do not recognize the app icon that the popunder uses
