Flowframes does things on its own at night #266

I get up at 4:30 a.m. and find my PC 100% stressed Flowflare was idle since my last encoding the day before, doing absolutely nothing. However, it was this software that was stressing my GPU and my CPU since its closure led to a return to normal It must have been several hours given the temperature of the room.

Has anyone had this before? Can flowframes use a machine's resources for anything other than local encoding?

I find it very serious and dangerous that a PC is loaded at 100% during the absence of its user, I never launch encoding as consumer without being present, to monitor the good health of the PC.

UPDATE: The big load was caused by the "C:\WINDOWS\DLHOST.EXE" after a time of inactivity Every time I left the PC idle, it started again after about ten minutes. Flowflares was then closed. It stopped as soon as I regained control of the pc, it was difficult to identify the process in question, I had to install glances to monitor remotely. After some research, this file must be located in "C:\Windows\System32" directory, otherwise it could be a trojan Maybe it has nothing to do with Flowframes but the power of the process is really reminiscent of software rendering and I noticed this phenomenon less than 48 hours after installing flowframes

UPDATE2: Another local windows PC was infected by the same process. This is a cryptominer which spreads to computers on my network, amazing... Flowframes is definitely not the culprit, it's a coincidence, sorry, and I think someone on the network did something bad
