Hello,
Windows Defender has detected and quarantined HackTool:Win32/AutoKMS in file: C:\Windows\KMS-R@1nHook.exe
But my PC was already acting a bit strange before that with a lot of slowness, it might need a thorough cleaning
I am attaching the FRST reports
Thank you very much in advance for your help

Hi,
It's not malicious in itself.
Just some detections regarding KMSPico which is used to crack Windows or Office.
Read here: https://www.malekal.com/kmspico/
You can add it as an exception in Windows Defender, see: https://www.malekal.com/windows-defender-ajouter-exception/
That said, it's not great to try to crack licenses/software.

Please press any key to continue the disinfection...

You can uninstall it.
CCleaner isn't really useful, even though it's recommended everywhere.
You can also uninstall it.
If you want to keep it, disable CCleaner's monitoring, which is unnecessary, as it starts up with Windows and slows it down with its incessant cleanings. See: https://www.malekal.com/supprimer-ccleaner-demarrage-windows/
