So my laptop has been overheating a lot lately like whenever I play games that I usually play with no problem on this laptop It automatically shuts down due to the overheating.

The overheating was so sudden that I think its a virus because right before it overheat I got the cpuminer virus. so maybe It is still hiding in my laptop after cleaning it up or infected some files. My internet went slow too.

I already tried things like System restore, Run some Anti malware programs and resting my laptop for some time but it keeps going on a temp of 90-99 degrees

So can anyone help me confirm that this is a virus? and Help me fix the problem

* im not that good in computers so please explain on how I do it also *

Thanks alot! any help would be appreciated


Laptop's Spec

Thanks for your answer. I really do think its a virus but my antivirus (Bitdefender) says that my laptop is clean. Just yesterday my internet went extremely slow. My ping in games are 1000+ which are usually 60-70 and it takes like 3-5 seconds to load google. I really don't know what to do now.
