This nasty fella gives constant crashes in your computer.  I thought it was an issue with hardware, like motherboard, cpu, video card and so on. 


Looking for ways to get rid of it.

It is a bitcoin miner also comes with a rootkit, so simply removing the files will not suffice! The rootkit typically associated is going by the name \"0Access\" or \"ZeroAccess\".
I had to run the Kaspersky TDSSKiller in order to kill the root of it. I would like Avast! to have killed or blocked it to begin with though.
