Go check the loads when idle. If you got 100% load on any of your components when your system is idle, then you have a virus.

I don't know how to you expect any of us to help you if you're not even familiar with the basic terminology. Do you at least know what the task manager is?

Well you open the task manager, you go to the performance tab and check what your CPU load is when you're not giving it anything to work on. It its unusually high, like 70% or more, you have a virus.

It would seem you will need to do the same for your graphics card. There is a program you can download called process explorer. Natively, it doesn't display the load on the graphics card, so you will need to activate that column yourself, like this:


Find GPU and select GPU load.
