Good day security-conscious individuals. I am suspecting a coin-miners has tojaned its way on to my PC (Windows 10 pro, latest update, custom hardware build). Over the past few months, I can return to my desk after leaving the PC on idle for ~30 mins, and see GPU usages steady at 30% according to task manager. However, by the time I switch to the processes tab, whatever it was has disappeared.
Steps I have taken:
1) searched for and removed any suspicious programs
2) installed the no coin chrome extension
3) removed java in it's entirety from my PC
4) ran multiple scans with windows defender and malwarebytes. Quarantined and removed the (few) flagged items
5) left PC on idle with no web browser open
None of these have found the problem. I've googled a few articles, but if anyone can point me in the direction of more comprehensive approaches, that would be awesome.
Thank you in advance, let me know if I need more details, and sorry if this breaks rule 3 / 6.
