Randomly starts on Debian Jessie, 100% CPU utilization #11

Closed yogyakor closed 7 years ago

yogyakor commented 7 years ago

As per title, top command randomly reports a 'tor' process in my laptop that uses up to 100% of CPU. This is several reboots after the last use of torghost. Torghost has been cleanly stopped via command line (torghost stop) last time it was used.

How do I remove this from my Debian based system?

jimmytbane commented 7 years ago

Hey I can help you with this, do this is your console:

whereis torghost

Delete the file that whereis says runs the torghost command. Or, if you get no directory, do:

whereis tor

And then try

sudo apt remove tor

I will note, TOR doesn't use that much cpu, and I see nothing in this package that would cause tor to randomly start. You might be infected with some other linux malware, try using ClamAV on /
