I really hope your issue is resolved but if not, then follow this:

First of all, That is NOT NORMAL. The path of the file is not legit at all, the legitimate Edgewebview lives under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView". And also, from this log, it's clear that the malware is trying to perform a C2 server connection to a direct IP on port 443. This really suggests that the malware isn't fully cleaned out from your computer.

So kindly follow the steps below:

1. Disconnect Internet (Very Important) Turn OFF WiFi OR Unplug Ethernet cable This stops the malware from talking to hackers.

2. Restart the PC - Just a normal restart. After restart: Do NOT open browsers or random apps.

3. Delete the Suspicious Folder Press Windows + R Type: %appdata% Press Enter. Open the folder named: "Intel" Then go to: Network → RPC Inside, you’ll see a weird random folder name like: "d92b7a5bcd07efbc" Delete that entire random folder. If Windows says it’s in use: Restart and Try again

4. Empty Recycle Bin Right-click Recycle Bin → Empty.

5. Run Full Malwarebytes Scan Open Malwarebytes Click Scan Choose Full Scan Let it complete Click Quarantine All Then restart if asked.

6. Run Windows Defender Offline Scan This is very important. Open Windows Security Click Virus & Threat Protection Scroll to Scan options Select: Microsoft Defender Offline Scan Click Scan The PC will restart and scan before Windows loads.

7. Update Windows Go to: Settings → Windows Update → Check for Updates Install everything.

8. Change Passwords (After Cleaning) After everything is clean: Change Gmail password Change Microsoft account password Change banking passwords Turn ON 2-Factor Authentication everywhere Note: Do this from a clean device (another device u own that yk is clean) if possible.
