[QUOTE="Rajal, post: 708032, member: 69623"] Presence of malware causes system to get stuck, but sometimes it also causes system to be dragged down, slowing performance or causing effects that is related to higher memory and CPU usage, the effect obviously can cause problems to GPUs as well, but that's a general thing. I mean that's how you recognize the presence of some kind of malware in your system, you look at those symptoms first. It's different when it's 10 years old, you might want to look at hardware in that case. But if it's just a few months or few years old and suddenly it starts to show those kinds of activities, then you know you are in some malware trouble. Yeah. But if you got a super stealth, super persistent virus, that never freezes your system, but causes some gentle to massive drag down in your systems performance , and it is not detected by you antivirus softwares virus definitions, nor does it make any clue available for stereotype security researchers, you know , you can see it's impact, you know it's that , but nothing seems to help , no expert , no knowledge cause it doesn't gives you clues out. The only clue is what you see the decrease in performance, the irregular activities of your CPUs and OS s irrespective of which one or where they are, it's present in all your devices, but you can't do anything. What's next, for such a petty situation for a very normal consumers, don't we need some permanent ways to keep at least personal or individual level systems perfectly secure, the attackers generally are always after business and other higher organisations, there is a constant battle, and those level of organisations do get better security solutions , they also need them no doubt, but yeah what about us. And today, if something like that happens, where would one go, how would one solve this for once and for all without having to pay more than what their system itself causes.
