Hi Guys,

Thought maybe one of you have some ideas what the hell is going on on with my laptop.
I have a decent Acer laptop, 1-year-old, 500GB SSD, 20GB ram, and it usually runs perfectly.
No overheating issues, or anything like that..
Then 1 week ago, suddenly it started to be extremely sluggish, to the point where it takes me 2 minutes to move the mouse cursor from one side to the other side of the screen. Also writing is impossible..
Again not all the time, but 90% of the time.

This behavior seems to be worst in periods.. I think its a coin miner virus.
I checked with Malware bytes, Defender, Spyhunter, Kaspersky, Avira, Avg, and all other anti-viruses, anti-malware, anti-spyware programs, and all of them say my laptop is clean.

I googled this issue and found more than a few with identical issues.
No one has any solution.

I used Window's own restore system, to make a clean installation 4 times, and still got the same issue..

Any thoughts on this issue?
 
maybe check your resources manager or (i dont know if its related or not) check your SSD. I got this similar problem when i have my ssd not working normally.
