HP Bitcoin Mining Me?

[TheFaceOff]

So I was trying to play Black Ops 3 today after I bought it on sale from g2a. Was getting massively low fps and I assumed it was just because bo3 was released a few weeks ago and for some reason my PC wasn't optimized. I Then check for a virus using malware bytes and I get this : http://prntscr.com/94q3dt

Is this actually HP or just some random bitcoin miner? It says it was in an HP update folder which seems pretty legitimate, and there's an actual HP update application that is used for my printer that I have installed, so I'm not sure whats happening. If it's HP, can I be compensated in any way?

lol. Are you just looking for a handout or something? Are you trolling? HP using a bitcoin miner? lol. Id look for the source of that elsewhere.

It's not from hp but it is malware. Remember malware can just copy itself to other folders.
