Network drivers almost MAXING CPU??

[megadarkwood]

Yes, I have tried turning it off and on again..

(Memory is so high because of chrome)

 

Anyway, what should I do? I can't stand this for 12 hours a day:

Did you recently reinstall windows or update any drivers? How long have you had your laptop and how long has it been doing this

[Altecice]

What is make and model your LAN adaptor? (aka intel,realtek...)

 

Have you tried looking for an update driver?

A layer 7 DDOS attack will do this as windows is very inefficient at dealing with the ipv6 multicast request so the cpu will be pinned at 100% but this is likely a virus or your router.

Are you using an up-to-date version?

Well if that is the case then he will just have to restart his router or just not use the internet.

Or it's a virus masking it self as a system file, that was the first thing to pop into my head.

It's possible. Although his wireless is still functional, but that is always possible.

It's a bitcoin miner virus, the name of the miner process has been renamed

Seemed to have fixed itself after reinstalling drivers, thanks guys.
