    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.

    Good for you......on topic. Scan with Malwarebites and a good Anti virus.

    Be yourself in life. Unless you can be Batman.......be Batman damn it be Batman

    Light travels faster then sound which is why people appear bright untill they start to talk.

    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.
