ProfessorGuess Posted April 17, 2019 ID:1308145 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have reason to believe that my Steam install has been infected with a Bitcoin mining virus. The Program will run fine for a few minutes then extreme screen stutter and my fans will kick up to full speed. A brief flash in Task Manager shows 100% GPU use by SteamClient.exe. I've tried several approaches to remove this virus will no luck. Including Complete re-install of Steam and several free malware removal programs with no luck.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 6, 2019 Root Admin ID:1311338 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Let's get real. If you're not backing up your data and you're still using Google Chrome then you're just not serious about Privacy, Safety, and protecting your data. Malwarebytes is a fantastic program but you still need to back up your data and you still need to block scripts and Ads in your browser. If you're still using Google Chrome I would highly suggest you consider using Firefox instead. For more advanced users you might consider installing NoScript as well (it does have a higher learning curve though) Help Secure your browsers Please install uBlock Origin for your browsers to better protect your system FireFox, Chrome, Opera , Safari, Microsoft EdgeAdBlock for Internet Explorer How to use uBlock Origin to protect your online privacy and security | uBlock Origin tutorial 2018 This video tutorial above explains how to use uBlock Origin in advanced user mode and all the advanced settings to protect your online privacy and help prevent unwanted sites from changing your browser settings Follow-up Reading Everything you need to know about cybercrime 10 easy ways to prevent malware infection Keep your data backed up Thank you for choosing Malwarebytes and tell your friends and family too.
