Is your computer lagging? Perhaps a miner has settled in it.

We want to warn you: many users notice that their PCs suddenly began to work like a turtle. The reason is often simple – a miner virus has settled in the system, secretly using your video card and processor to mine cryptocurrency.

How to understand that you have been “infected”

Look for these signals:

• The graphics card cooler is as noisy as an airplane.
• The CPU is loaded at 60% and above without your fault.
• The browser is as slow as a snail.
• The computer is hot to the touch
• Traffic is soaring for no reason

If you recognize yourself – it's time to act.

Quick method: task manager

1. Press Win+R, type taskschd.msc
2. Open “Task Scheduler Library”
3. Look for processes with wild names ( like Asikadl.exe)
4. Right-click → “Disable”

If the processor has started to breathe normally – virus found.

Full Rehabilitation

• Run the antivirus (Dr. Web finds complex cases)
• Clean the system using Ccleaner
• Check the registry: Win+R → regedit → Ctrl+F ( search for suspicious names )
• Restart the PC

How to Prevent the Virus from Returning

• Keep your antivirus updated constantly
• Set a complex password on the router
• Block JavaScript in the browser (settings)
• Do not visit websites without https
• Do not click on suspicious links
• Periodically reinstall Windows from a clean image every 2-3 months (

Main idea: a virus-miner is not deadly, but it is annoying. The easiest way to find it is through the CPU load monitor. If it is constantly spiking – it's time to do some cleaning.
