Out of the blue, I get an error box that started popping up about every minute. When I click close or OK, a system32 box that seems to open as a WinRar archive pops up. The only thing I've done recently was use Malwarebytes, it started seemingly right after that. I've made no other recent changes at all. Any help is appreciated.
Hi, you can determine the underlying process related to the dialogue by using e.g.
Download Window Detective - MajorGeeks
or simpler
Download WinSpy++ 1.7
Click on the picker tool and drag it onto that popup to see its process.

Well, definitely related to Winrar as you indicated.
Have a look at your task manager and see if you can identify something happening repeatedly- although that may be too fast.Out of the blue, I get an error box that started popping up about every minute.
But you may be able to see something using resources excessively.
Perform a clean boot (Google or see tutorial if unsure how). Does this still occur? If not, re-enable startups progressively to identify what this is related to.
A virus scan would be wise.
Just a suggestion, I would check what's in Malwarebyte's quarantine as it happened after running it.
Turns out it was connected to Adobe Acrobat I had installed for some reason. I used Task Manager to open file location on the system32 WinRar archive that popped up and just uninstalled the application and deleted the folder. Thank you so much for the help guys.
