    Possible malware named "process"


    I have a process running in the background named "system" which I suspect to be malware crypto mining. I can see in task manager the power consumption is very high but when I disable my graphic card the power consumption drops to low and vice versa plus the laptop get hotter than usual. The application when I open file location is named ntoskrni, and this is the only app I can't terminate. I am also noticing lags while gaming more than usual. I have reset the windows to default but still the same issue. Running a Dell g7 1060 max q, 128 Ssd 1 TB hard drive. Really appreciate your support.

    :)

    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..........
