Hi! I've got wierd files in C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming. Files are named: 61B0.exe, D23C.exe, 9B76.tmp and so on. They take 100% CPU when they run. When I delete these, they come back. What are these and how to remove them?

Sounds like malware.

Use an anti-virus.

Scan your computer with some trusted software. If you don't have any, download Malwarebytes from here, update and do a full scan.

I had a legit windows file corrupt and destroy my CPU on boot (100% load straight away). Eventually I managed to get rid of it but it was a real pain, I'd probably rather have had malware since that's reasonably easily detectable.

Scanning...

I also had the same problem with my old PC, but I did remove them somehow. I tried a lots of Anti-Virus programs, tried to delete them manually and somehow they didn't came again.
