Hi all! I think I may be infected with a virus or maybe something else. I start having some issue's like a slow to respond pc, the mouse hangs in one spot for a few seconds, web pages freeze while loading, sometimes the entire pc freezes (no blue screen, just completely frozen). The cpu cores are usually running between 50and 100% when this hap[pens. I rarely see my pc require more than 7% without taxing apps running.
Yesterday when I saw about the dbus-daemon I disconnected from the net and then shortly there after I had a video driver failure, which ive not seen ever on this machine, which blanked out all the web pages I was viewing while trying to gather info about the exe's. Coincidence maybe.
I notice in my process list that 1 or 2 extra conhost exe appear and something else called dbus-daemon. These processes seem to be the cause of the issue. I read that conhost.exe is legit but you should only see 1 at a time. Dbus-daemon is soem kind of linux based software that allows mailing between programs.
I do use torrrents and over the weekend a guest was on some gambling websites. I don't know if they are real money or if that matters.
My paranoia has me worried that my pc is going to turn into a zombie. That it will rob banks for another master maybe! All jokes aside, something odd seems to be happening and I can't sort it out on my own. I do kinda think maybe something is running that shouldn't be. Itr seems to happen while the PC is sleeping and then I start to use it I notice that performance is bad and look into it. So any help, our guidance for information would be much appreciated.
