Hidden Miner in microsoft network realtime inspection service

Hi, my GPU (3060ti) have been extremely loud lately and performance is a bit on the lousy side.

Teh temperatures are unusually high and usage is over the roof when idling.

While troubleshooting I found that microsoft network realtime inspection service has been using 100% of the GPU.

Upon further inspection (Digital Signatures) I found that there is a pesky Miner sucking up all my GPU power

However I cannot get rid of this MF. Windows Defender does not detect it and I tried a few things I found on the interwebs but to no avail.

My question is how do I get rid of this thing.

I really do not want to format my PC and I want my GPU back!

To add insult to injury, since microsoft network realtime inspection service is part of the Windows Defender I consider it a miserable fail by hiding a miner on it.

    All good then. If there's nothing further you can clean up by deleting FRST and the C:\FRST folder.

    ...if you would mark the thread as answered, by pressing Yes below the post that provided the solution...that'd be awesome.

    Good luck!

    • Download Fixlist.txt and save to the folder that FRST64English.exe is in
    • Run FRST and press "Fix" - a reboot will be needed to complete the fix
    • Please share Fixlog.txt

    Done;

    Done;

    And...

    Fixlog.txt

    Done!

    Apparently the lolminer thing was substituted for a microsoft thing.

    GPU usage seems to be back to normal (idling)

    Thanks for the prompt help!

    Hi Fabio,

    Please share Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) logs.

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

    • If your computer language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
    • Run FRST and press "Scan"
    • Two logs are created in the folder that FRST is run from, FRST.txt and Addition.txt
    • Upload the logs to OneDrive, Google Drive or any file sharing service and post the share link

    Note: If you are downloading FRST with Edge, smartscreen will initially block it.

    Click on the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep-> Show more-> Keep anyway.

    Share OneDrive files and folders - Microsoft Support
