Poor performance in everything by your powerful GPU

I have noticed lately that a lot of people have their GPU drivers crashing, they also get very little performance out of their powerful graphics card, well sometimes it's the driver's fault but sometimes is not...
Then what is it? The answer is plain simple... "Miners" a lot of these people got their problem fixed (after ensuring it wasn't a GPU fan stopped working or abnormally high GPU temperature) by scanning with an antivirus (i always recommend malwarebytes, it's simple, powerful and does the job well). It turns out many people are getting their crapware out on the internet in hopes that someone will run it and start mining (with GPU cores) for them without the computer's owner notice it.



What miner does? Simply enough, the crapware is utilizing your GPU cores (probably at 100%) in order to make calculations and generate profit for the hacker. Keep in mind if your GPU constantly is at its 100% the temperatures will go high and also your GPU's life will shorten... and for what? -generating profit for a foreign hacker.
You can avoid this by simply scanning your downloaded file with an antivirus or STOP downloading game or programs cracks (buy it or use an alternative opensource) I will make soon an article with major software and their free/opensource alternative
