Thread 717725583

I pirate games like a normal person. I would like to know if it is possible to tell if I have any miners or other malware bots on my system.

How often do you scan your computer? Have you ever found malware from a game?

press CTRL+ALT+DEL at the same time
select task manager
go to performance tab
is your CPU usage at 100%?
if yes, you probably have miner
if no, then you dont

I open Task Manager with CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. If I made a miner bot, I'd have it activate sporadically, to make it hard to notice. Or perhaps only when the infected program is open to obfuscate the usage. I want a sure-fire way to tell if I messed something up, as I've had my system for several years and I don't think anything is wrong, but I pirate a lot of games.

Do you ever feel like your computer is running like shit but when you open task manager it suddenly starts working better? If this happened one time then it's probably placebo, if this happened more than 2 times then your pc 100% has AIDS

then it is simple, listen to the fans in your PC
if your CPU fan is roaring like a lion, all the time, except when you open task manager, then you have a miner
if not, then you dont
