80-90% cpu usage and 99% gpu usage svchost.exe

[1zacster]

so I was playing some mirror's edge (fun game) and when I exited the game suddenly my gpu usage was at 99% and cpu was ~85%. I go into my processes naturally, and I see that the mirror's edge process is still running. I end it and it is still at high usages. Strange. I download a program that sees what process is using the gpu and it is svchose.exe. I open file location and it is in "C:\Users\Zac\AppData\Roaming\Adobe32\svchost.exe" I end the process and bam, normal usages (gpu 3%, cpu 20%) I restart and bam high usages again, end the process and bam low again.

Sounds like a Virus.

Try malware bytes.

Yea I scanned on virustotal and some said it was a bitcoin miner, explains the gpu usage. will restart and see if spike still occurs

Not sure I understand what you are saying. Did your virus program say it removed a virus?

I don't use an AV, I can avoid viruses well enough though every time I find a suspicious file I use virustotal to scan them (uses like 40 AV programs). Even if I did get a virus I don't have anything of value. Oh and it fixed it

sorry for reviving a 3 year old thread but how did you fix it?
