Think i have some kind of virus. Internet speed reduced by 70% and slow computer - Sinister Casual - Aug 28, 2015

Hi there,

I've been downloading a lot of stuff, and I am pretty sure I am left with a virus of some sorts now. All the downloads have been from misc. crack forums where there is a trusted system to provide the downloads, but maybe something has slipped through.

I haven't noticed any rat activity, none of my accounts have been hacked or anything, but my computer is running EXTREMELY slow for it's specs recently and my internet speed went from 100mb download down to a current 30mb.

I am in need of assistance.

Edit: I forgot to include that I can't see my tabs in task manager, here is a pic

It's likely somebody is using your computer to mine. Start by downloading avast and do a boot time scan.

Thanks, going to do it now.

Edit: Kind of forgot that people can set up miners on victim PC's, didn't really think.

If that doesn't work try running AdwCleaner, it's also possible you have a lot of adware on your PC

I cancelled the boot-time scan because I need to do something on my computer, but I forgot to include that I can't see my tabs in task manager, here is a pic

Probably adware. Get Avast or Malwarebytes and scan your computer. Also try AdwCleaner as mentioned.
