Monitoring the CPU temperature can help identify if your device is being used for mining. A significant rise in temperature, especially when you're not performing resource-intensive tasks, may indicate mining activity.

One of the primary indicators of crypto mining activity is overheating. The increased workload on the CPU generates heat, which can cause the device to become unusually warm.

In addition to overheating, an infected PC will also perform slower than usual. Bitcoin miner viruses consume a large portion of the computer's resources, leaving little for other applications.
