  1. Malware or what?


    Hey, I think I got a Malware on my PC, I downloaded (just for testing Malware or what? :) ) NiceHash Mine to mine some BTC, when its mining the Video Encoder jumps from 0% to 100% and again( I think thats normal when mining), so I tested it out and removed it from my Computer, I then determined that I had short FPS Drops in video games and went into the TM and saw that the video encoder continued to jump from 0% to 100% and again, like hes minig Cryptocurrency. So I checked my whole PC for some Mining Programs and I did 2 Anti Virus Scans but I cant find anything. Please help me :/

    Also what is very weird everytime I task kill my AMD Radeon Software the Video Encoder goes to 0%??!

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........
