Fkemman11 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Not sure what is going on, but, when I log into certain sites my system and games seem to lag some. Doesn't happen when I log in here or most others, just on some. For instance, when I log into Loverslab and then close it out and try to play a game- I have a big drop in frame rate and my system seems to run slower overall. Not only that, my anti-virus gets triggered there once in awhile as well. I pulled up my task manager today to see if something was running and slowing me down and I found nothing. Could this have something to do with bugs in their new system or something? Does anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatB0Y68 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Not exactly, but I did experience something slightly similar. I had left Firefox open on Youtube, as I was waiting to buffer a large video on my stone age connection.I noticed after a short while that there was an abrupt increase in RAM usage by Firefox in the Task Manager window, which I always have open. I immediately smelled a rat and closed the application via the task manager, after which I promptly did an antivirus scan which came up with nothing. This memory usage was off the charts - about 12GB of RAM. I use NoScript and AdBlocker, so I'm sure no malware was responsible. I can't help but wonder though.

Fkemman11 Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hmmm....that is strange. Would be nice to have a computer programmer try and explain this. I'd ask the only person I know, but, he doesn't like giving answers for free- which I totally understand btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3r1ous Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 it doesnt even have to be malware, all it takes these days is for site to have crypto miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruSSrt Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 more and more sites are starting to cripto-mine through you. While you visiting their website they are using your computer to do the mining. Great example (and i think super smart) couch tuner. Watch any episodes and while you watching they mine. When i watch on my laptop my battery does not last even 40 min per episode. I can watch two full movies on netflix without charging my battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fkemman11 Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 I noticed this is always running in the background for me and wanted to find out more. Makes me wonder how many other things are running in the background that I don't need and are slowing me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
