Hi, not sure if this is the right category but it seems to be close enough.
So, here's my problem, it started yesterday after I installed Planetside 2 (I don't think that was the cause). I noticed that my fan was running very loudly after I closed Planetside so I opened CoreTemp to find that both cores were running at 100% and at 40 degrees which is typical when my CPU is using that much. So I opened task manager as well to see what the cause was, and then CoreTemp instantly dropped to idle 0-2% and the temperature went back to 30 degrees (normal for idle). There was nothing unusual running in task manager and when I checked the performance tab, it was running idle there too.
I restarted the computer and the same thing happened so I done a boot-time scan with avast and it found this: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\update\scrypt121016.cl It said it was Unix:Malware-gen. I moved it to the chest. It didn't make a difference.
Another unusual thing was massive usage of the disk by a process called AvastSvc.exe but it's gone now and hasn't come back. The CPU fan also seems to be running quieter now but CoreTemp still says 100% whenever task manager or process manager or resource monitor isn't open.
Also, the computer doesn't seem to be performing any slower.
Sorry about the length.
Any advice?
Thanks.
