It's not a virus! Your GPU may be failing. Do a

SMC RESET

  • Shut down the computer.
  • Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
  • Wait 15 seconds.
  • Attach the computers power cable.
  • Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.


It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.


Here is a link to a Widget to monitor your temps and other operations:
