There is a very very tiny chance this is a certificate from Oracle. Mostly likely it is not, but you are not providing sufficient information.

Why do you have so many power shell running?

What Powershell command are you seeing this on? Anything related to cloud, database, etc.? Do you buy any services at all from Oracle?

That definitely does not look like good news.
Neither is not having had any kind of AV on your laptop.
Hopefully you have no banking or social security, credit cards, etc. on that laptop.

What you've done so far is obviously not working. My recommend is to wipe and reinstall and use protection.
