Let me help you with this issue.
I understand your machine is infected with the Coinminer virus.
Please follow the steps below to scan your machine further.
Please also try Microsoft Safety Scanner - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365...
And follow these additional steps.
Uninstall an unwanted application in Programs and features,
Go to start type in Control Panel, then go to Programs and then Programs and Features then go to the list of the programs look for anything unusual or any application that you are not aware right click then uninstall.
Delete Temporary files off Windows 10.
Tap the Windows Key then R on your keyboard, on the Run box type in %temp% then press enter.
Once it is up highlight all then delete, if there is a filé open that can't be deleted just skip it.
I hope this helps.
If the above scanner did not detect any please use these 3rd party tools.
