Hello,
It has been over a month since I have been trying to find a solution to remove MsMpEng.exe (a.k.a. Antimalware service executable) due to the high CPU usage. Over the course of a month, I have obviously tried EVERYTHING, from the most ordinary solutions to the lesser-known ones. Nothing works.
So I was wondering if deleting the file from my PC would be dangerous (in the same way as deleting System32, for example)? It's the last resort that came to my mind, and I haven't done it for fear of making a mistake...
I also want to mention that I have tried installing an antivirus on top of it to disable Windows Defender (AVG). However, when I restart the computer (and when it restarts without my consent, furthermore), an equivalent component to MsMpEng from the antivirus also starts to drain my CPU, which means I theoretically have to keep my computer on at all times... It's hellish.
So I am coming to you to ask if there is a free antivirus that wouldn't unnecessarily drain my CPU in any circumstances? Or if I should keep mine and also remove the component... I am generally quite protected from viruses even without any external help; I don't remember losing a PC to a virus in my life, just to clarify.
There you go... I apologize for this long message, but I really wanted to explain the problem in detail. Thank you in advance for your responses.
Configuration: Windows / Opera 85.0.4341.72

Hello.
First, check if your version of Windows is up to date and free of infections by following these steps:
Download FRST and once downloaded, save it on the desktop, then right-click on FRST and select Run as administrator and you will see this:
Click on Scan
At the end of the scan, you will have two text files on the desktop: FRST and Addition
Then send the FRST and ADDITION reports to CJOINT see THIS TUTORIAL, then provide the two links generated by Cjoint in your response.

Cjoint was not working (I don't know why), so I uploaded the files on WeTransfer instead, hoping that it doesn't bother you.

You have this PiaproDate_221_64x.exe located at in my opinion, this file is a crack for the PiaproDate software, can you confirm that?
You have a large number of profiles in Google Chrome, are you aware of that?
These profiles in Chrome are all infected by parasite search engines, you also have an extension in Chrome called Premid do you know it?
You also have some shady things launching at the startup of Windows.
So before running a correction script, I will wait for answers to my three questions.
