Suddenly I faced some major slowdown with my pc today and after hours of searching I located a process running with the name "Services and Controller app.exe" inside my Program Files\Windows Multimedia Platform. After terminating that process everything worked as before. I renamed the exe file just in case that happens again but I'm wondering if this process is needed. I don't remember installing it and i can't find any uninstall to run... Scanned with avg but didn't find anything... Any ideas? Thanks!

Ok I experienced a sudden shut down at the time avg was reporting some files as viruses while they were not... I turned on the process again to test how it goes until tomorrow...
 
I would suggest trying a scan with MalWareBytes. Sorry you're having this issue  :-(
 
Already did and removed 2 malware reports... But nothing else other than that.... I'll scan again... :/
 
I woke up to find that my stream was disconnected with a pretty message in my inbox...:

I really don't get it since I already use AAC...
I'm not sure why my system got so cursed since last day!
It must be the pc spirits...

You can usually google the name of a process and get some information about it. If nothing comes up it might well be a non-delivered program (like a virus). A good indicator is spaces in the file name. All actual windows files (one that windows needs) and professionally delivered software have no spaces. System files also do not reside in Program Files. Deleting anything in Program Files will not destroy windows.
 
Thanks for the valuable info NFITC1! This was the first thing I did. It came up with some results but nothing legit concerning a virus... I also installed an ipad screen mirroring application to control my pc while streaming and I'm not sure if it's related to that. Also installed some weird unofficial driver I got with a cd from a new gamepad I bought. And before that I installed motionjoy for a ps3 controller which I failed to setup and removed it. When I connect the gamepad I bought says motionjoy is installing and this seems a bit weird too, but the unofficial gamepad might be using the motionjoy driver as well... You can have a look at that folder here but be careful though I don't believe it's a virus but did some conflict with my gpu. Not sure if it's related to nvidia drivers though: http://filetrip.net/dl?w8ccudt38w
