There used to be a CPU version of this BTC miner.
I just caught one using CUDA on my rig, pushing GPU usage to 100% at boost clock and using over 3GB VRAM. Was wondering why PC made noise in idle since a few days and started looking manually.
Found a set of files nested in an application that's been on the PC for over a year. For analysis: the application will hide and stop itself immediately when you go out of idle, and activate itself when in idle time for about 2-3 minutes. Therefore quickly opening task manager to see what's happened is not going to work for you. I tracked it down with timestamps and MSI Afterburner OSD monitoring.
The highlighted dll will come up with all sorts of goodness if you search it.
Sent a report to MS as well.
Take note of the fact these files have likely been 'dormant' for over a month, as well
