So when i turn on my pc, i noticed that it was running slower, heating up a bit more and getting lower fps on cpu intensive games. Then i opened task manager to see what was using my cpu.
It turned out to be chrome (or something disguised as chrome) using 25% of my cpu at all times.
That process is there when the system boots up without even opening chrome itself.
I can easily kill the process but often forget about it and then wonder why the pc is lagging.
Also i don't think it is ACTUAL chrome because:
1- It's there when system starts.
2-It's always there
3-If i kill the process while chrome is open, chrome doesn't get affected.
I suspect it being some kind of virus disguising itself as chrome but i don't know how to remove this.
