Visual Basic Command Line Compiler is consuming most of my CPU and Memory.

Question

Recently, Visual Basic Command Line Compiler has been constantly running.

As you can see in the screenshot, my CPU has been staying at 83% or more.

I've even tried ending the task, but it just reappears and starts running again.

It has become nearly impossible to use anything but the most basic of functions on my computer, and even that is becoming more agonizingly slow by the day...

I am out of my depth and have no idea how to fix this situation... How can I solve this?

Your system seems to be infected by a miner. Please run the Farbar Scanner and share the logs here.

• Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST64.exe) [See also: Collect Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs.]
• Rename FRST64.exe to EnglishFRST64.exe.
• Run the program. Don't check or uncheck any options. Click "Scan".
• Upload the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to your OneDrive and share the link here.
