Energy.exe Removal Report - https://www.enigmasoftware.com/energy...
As the popularity of cryptocurrency has skyrocketed over the past several years, the new denominations of minable currency have not been overlooked by crafty cybercriminals, who have developed a code to steal the mining resources of unsuspecting victims.
This class of code, referred to as #cyptojackers, oftentimes shows little indication of its presence. Nevertheless, a simple check of your system's CPU or GPU usage can tip you off to what's going on in your PC. Victims of #cryptojacking may also notice a spike in their electricity costs, as the resources necessary to mine digital currency drain a large amount of power.
One new indicator that you may be infected with a malicious crypto miner is the Energy.exe process. It is used by a crypto miner Trojan, and this type of malware can also cause damage to your computer’s hardware components by overworking it and causing a major surge of heat.
