Hello! Here's the summary.
I was infected, dunno if it was worm,malware or something 3rd.
I completely reinstalled my Windows not from the image but from delete everything menu in windows 10 recovery.
When i got back, I thought there were no problems,but now I see I was wrong.
The info of what infection did - it was using 50-90% of my CPU and my memory.
Service local host(18) did that, and I think antimalware service executable.
Antimalware is still using the same amount of data as when infected (60mb) and I dont know what it is.
But lets get to the problem. I can't install antimalware("The system cannot find the path specified") nor this repair("Unable to open archive file").
I tried running portable version is safe mode and when I click repair - it closes and says program has stopped working.
What do I do? Is it possible the infection survived the reinstall or it just caused problems on my PC and how do I fix it?

Boggin:
It's quite possible that the infection did survive the recovery.

Is the CPU/Memory usage still high in Safe Mode with Networking ?

In that mode download and run ESET Free Online Scanner http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

Check the boxes for the PuPs then click on Advanced and check all of the boxes.

This will extend the scan time substantially but will be thorough.

Process Explorer will show what is running on your system https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx

As I already have this program set up, I don't know if Verify Signature and VirusTotal are now auto enabled, but click on Options and ensure Verify Signature is checked and then hover over VirusTotal.com and check its box.

Using the menu will give you various options to kill or find out what a particular process is by right clicking on it and selecting Search Online.

Anything in red in the VirusTotal column with a highish value/~50 will be suspect which you can then do an online search for.

safe mode with networking wont connect to the interet... i put LAN in and still, is shows little red x and I cant troubleshoot it because its in safe mode, in normal mode LAN works...

and also win 10 repair disk doesnt load up in advadnced restart mode when i click use repair disk... it is there when i go to manage drivers but i cant boot it up

Boggin:
Are you able to download the ESET Scanner and/or Process Explorer in normal mode ?

EDIT - Deleted this bit as it relates to another thread

As for booting up with the Win 10 disk, can you get into the BIOS or use F12 to change the Boot order ?
