Hello,
I am having this issue with two tasks in Activity Monitor draining my CPU continuously running at 100%+ both.
qemu-system-x86_64
tools-service
Haven't seen these two before, I've run malware-adware programs but my system seems clear.
Also tried to force quit but it runs again right after.
Anyone with knowledge on this issue?
Thank you all in advance.

Unfortunately, had to reinstall OSX, the problem was that Ableton Live 10, which I have downloaded it from a torrent site and not from the official site, installs a miner too, running at the background causing this. I've downloaded the official trial version now and all are good.
Thank you all for your help, greatly appreciated.
qemu is an open source virtual machine software to run other operating systems in your Mac. This is not surprising behaviour. I suggest you uninstall it.
Hello and thank you for your answer.
But how uninstalling something you can't see? There is no app running only this in the activity monitor!
Any luck in solving your issue? I'm having the exact same problem. The only previous things I installed were to do with music production as well!
Thanks for following up. I wasn't aware that they weren't even bothering to port code their malware to the Mac now. In addition to being malicious, that is just lazy.

You should be able to look through the report and find qemu?

Qemu is used to run a cryptocurrency miner on your computer, within an emulated OS. Chances are you picked it up downloading something from a less than reputable site.
I have the same problem. Did you just reinstall your OSX or did you reset it to factory settings? I really need some help. Thanks.
Hey, i had the same problem until i had the simpe idea to just double klick on the file and find the path and delete it :O after that i restart my mac and the problem was gone .
no
Whoever you are I love you. I've had this issue forever and I just fixed it. Thanks mate.
If qemu stops showing in activity monitor after completing these steps should you still clean install? or does that resolve the problem
some of the files that come up when i search i cant delete because they're part of the OS. Should i just accept that? is that normal? i have however deleted the original qemu file
qemu-system-x86_64 runs 100% CPU
