I suspect Trojan in my system
On my computer installed Bitdefender Total Security. Recently New discovery, I never check the email section "SENT", checked today May 17 and found two empty emails sent to two different addresses which unknown to me and are not in my addresses lists, it was sent by the computer itself on April 17th and 18th. Despite the fact that I scanned computer at the end of April and the second time in May, the result showed that the system is clean. Scanned because the computer started behaving strangely but I didn't know about the emails sent. Now I have no doubt why my computer began to behave strangely and slowly, I have a Trojan from which your famous defense could not protect.

Before making a post, I first checked myself or this is not a mistake. When the behavior of the computer become seemed suspicious to me, at this time I did not yet know that the computer sent emails by itself, I scanned the system with Bitdefender once in April and once in May, in addition, at the beginning of May I scanned it with Kaspersky one time scanner and today I scanned with F_Secure - all four scannes did not find a threat in my system.

By the way, I don't really trust F Secure because it did scan in 5 minutes at the same time Kaspersky and Bitdefender spend 6 hours +

@ArchyDice try downloading and running Malwarebytes. It has a small footprint so it can easily be uninstalled after a scan if you wanted, or saved as a second opinion scanner. Personally, if you're going to, I suggest using the free version on-demand once in a while, compared to the Premium version. Others here have differing opinions regarding that, but to each their own :) https://www.malwarebytes.com/solutions/virus-scanner
