That error report says the application is called "bmufa.exe", have you tried finding it by name and removing it?

BMUFA is a trojan bitcoin miner. Your computer is likely severely infected with lots of other stuff and part of a botnet.

You'd be well advised to completely flatten and reinstall your system.

I'll add: learn how to use a computer the next time, so maybe you will learn how to avoid malware and virus.

Why post a comment that adds nothing to the topic for the sole purpose of being a dick?
