I have a gamer laptop and all my resources are being used at max capacity when I run task manager, event viewer, or ipconfig in command prompt. How can I remove remote users from my laptop and workgroups for good? I am not proficient with mmc or coding. It’s a Lenovo Legion running Windows 10. Please help. Thank you.

    The only way to permanently remove a cryptominer is to format your hard drive and reinstall your software.
