Possible malware: High CPU-usage (100%) (multiple processes cmd, notepad, msiexec)


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

 

A few days ago I noticed cpu-usage levels were extremely high (100% most of the time). I closed all apps and restarted, computer starts out fine but as soon as I turn on wifi a Notepad launches by itself and computer starts getting really slow. Been noticing several cmd.exe processes open in task manager even tho I haven't launched command prompt. Same thing with conhost.exe msiexec.exe and notepad.exe and more than one explorer.exe 

 

Tried to run virus scan, nothing was found - althought Avast Antivirus keeps notifying me that it blocked a threat and that urls were being blocked such as: reannewscomm.com and other spammy-sounding websites. 

 

Please let me know if there is any other information you need from me at this point.

 

P.S. I'm running Windows 7 with Avast Antivirus

 

Any help is appreciated.
