    GPU Usage 55%
    GPU Usage 4%
    I can tell something is going on the second I bring up the site. my hard drive starts howling away and doesn't stop until I close thctalk.

    bit miners are remotely using our computers to mine for coins and make money. they have attached a program to this site to download itself to your browser. the more CPU power you have, the more money you can make...using everyone else's computers is an easy and cheap way to mine for bitcoins

    Like a massive network of computers (but over internet connection instead of in a room) all with this software activated either in a browser window or on PC by browser, the software uses your graphics processor mainly(hence the constant fan), to run complex maths equations on behalf of the hacker making him money.

    When you close your browser, the software is deactivated and fan stops


    Sal beat me to it

    only on thctalk? it does not occur on any other site I browse using chrome. no hard drive fan howl, no excessive CPU usage, no pop ups from Norton telling me it has blocked the program from loading....
