[QUOTE="bmwordsworth, post: 331531, member: 33000"] After doing further background reading I understand how that works, however I still believe it should not be utilising the GPU under such circumstances. Manually ending that process through Chrome's own task manager affects my browsing in no way but audibly reduces the load on my computer. I am concerned as I have heard of hackers / viruses using infected computers to power hacking attempts or something along those lines. This only started happening after the computer was infected, and I have only seen similar behaviour in the past on one other computer, which was also infected. Do you think it is possible this could be an ongoing side-effect of the infection, despite cleaning up the rest of it? [/QUOTE]
