I then downloaded malwarebites and let it do it's thing. It let btc-miner and tor.exe through (odd I thought) but highlighted an eventual 50 possible malware files.. 2 of which were trojans. I killed the trojans and let malwarebites restart windows. When it restarted.. I rounded up btc-miner and other files with btc-miner in the name and deleted them. I then opened task manager and found tor.exe running again so 'stopped the process' then deleted the exe and folder living in Programs. I've since left the XP machine running with task manager open but there's been no sign of spurious CPU use.
The problem I now have is what do I do about the other 'malware' progs malwarebites found.. some of them look like MS files and I don't want to delete the lot gung-ho and destroy the OS in the process
