    So i wnet to baka.bt to get some anime series i've been wanting to see for a while, and this morning i shut down utorrent, to my surprise the fan of the PC dint disminish it rythm i reset the laptop and turned off the PC and let it to cool for about 6+ hours, the problem shows up again, task manager shows CPU use around 80% and 60% of ram use, resources monitor shows about 1000+ ram being used, with nothing open, i am afraid that either a virus or a malware infiltrated the PC so i am about to run malware bytes and avast both on full scan mode to check, seeking ideas as of why this is happening?

    Run the virus scanner first.

    there's always a reason for overheating. With laptops its usually either poor design and/or blocked air vents.

    Post a hijack this log and screenshots of task manager process list sorted by cpu usage, and memory usage.
