Virus: Cryptojacking malware, temp solution
My Laptop takes off like a 'Jet engine', fan whizzing, the ac adapter hub gets hot, etc...
But, when I press Alt+Ctrl+Del and open task manager(itself a very light resource) = Amazingly my computer calms down.
"Cryptojacking is a form of malware that hides on your device and steals its computing resources in order to mine for valuable online currencies like Bitcoin."
Anyone know of way to rid this malware? Apparently it's very advanced, and disguised or attached to some mandatory process or another...
It may even have been included in the manufacture process... (unfortunately, also had some things the excel, and security that soon ran out of free use, not in love with the deal that I received for the price that I paid...)
from the time of purchase, I have searched Windows 10 etc Help articles, Regarding the 'jet engine', to no avail...
recently, opening the task manager has been an odd coincidence of working, but I find that it works every time... and I've read about crytpojacking which I do not understand
googled the task manager 'trick' and found others with the same problem/solution
have no idea if anyone else's computer seems to be a resource hog, interested in feedback , and tips
