You have both Avast and Kaspersky installed, its recommended to have only one installed. I just saw this by looking into your log out of interest, en zag dat je ook nederlands was :D, and noticed this. Gl with solving this :D!

Yeah you can't have 2 anti-virus programs running at the same time, they trip each other off.

It sounds like a bitcoin miner/XMR miner.

As for removal.. do a HerdProtect scan, if that is clean, try Vipre REscue Scanner, if thats clean, upload any recently downlaoded files to VirusTOtal and wait to AV sig update.

HerdProtect includes the Vipre engine so I would not see any reason for scanning with Vipre alone.

Use 1 antivirus, not 2.
Download Eset and do a scan.

Why has no one suggested THIS yet.. download Process hacker or an alternate process explorer, sort by CPU usage and see what file is taking up all of the power.

This is so basic, come on WH section.

yeah im 100% sure thats a bitcoin miner, when the malware detects you opened task manager the process goes away instantly, but if you try something different like proccess explorer, (a seperate piece of software) it will pop up and you cna locate the file and end the process and delete it.

Mine does the same thing. Open up task manager and it would be at 44% and then drop down below 10%. I also know that I am not infected by any malware so I can say you are safe.

Same, people need to calm their tits. The process that's using the CPU is task manager as it enumerates through the running processes, and by the time it's done opening it goes back down.

Except it's actually probably not a miner. Apparently you don't know shit if you're %100 sure about that.
