Has anyone else been hit lately with viruses?

This morning I woke up to odd pop ups asking me to log into "Something." I've not been on any odd sites but I got hammered with a ton of viruses. All that I saw were attached to the Gaming Services application. I want this thing OFF my pc but I don't get how to remove it. I don't use it and if it's that much of a weak point, I'm even more adamant on getting rid of it. I don't need to hear from XBOX reps saying it's safe because I've seen the results on my pc today and I've missed 4 hours of work because of it. I work from home and can't connect if I know there are issues with my computer. If you get this pop up, you have issues.

You can uninstall 'Gaming Services' through Windows Powershell, but there is no guarantee that it won't re-install itself in future.

Launch Powershell as an administrator and paste the following command:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

Sorry for the late reply, been busy lately with the upcoming events for Halloween Week in MWF.

What would you like to know? @ One Fat Unicorn.

I will do my best to answer any questions you, or anyone else has.

I get the fetching profile problem, backing out to main menu and hit multiplayer again usually helps.

Mob Of The Dead

Mine stopped recently with no further issues. I wonder what it was...

Zombie Harvest

the servers randomly disconnect or don't connect at all for me all the time.
