[QUOTE="CookieShakes, post: 758170, member: 74363"] So it's been a while since i have to deal with this annoying process, it's a miner virus, i don't realize it at first since when i opened up task manager, the process ends itself automatically, i can see like a splitsecond that the cpu usage rises, then drops, and stays low while i open task manager, my performance especially in gaming drops dramatically, i then tried ASC 11, and there's indeed a process called "Host Process for Windows Services" there's 2 of them, eating up each 25% cpu, but now it's only one, today. I tried terminating the process on ProcessHacker, but i feel like something still holds up my cpu, still lagging while gaming. I tried to use Windows Performance Recorder, i tried to track down the services, but it leads to nowhere, i only found either Idle or svchost itself. [/QUOTE]
