hi everyone,
today i wanted to test a game before pay it
And ... yes, it seems to be a cool game
i go to GOG to buy it ... and my CPU burn , i have temp alert all time
i check task manager in windows and 99% of CPU for GOG and all my internet connexion too

this virus seems to be crackonosh and seems can use python in gog install location

voilà voilà

check your task manager if you launch GOG, crackonosh can launch in sec you can see it easely

i don't know how to erase this virus, seems to be not detected by antivirus tool
so i uninst/reinst GOG and seems to be okay

Be carefull
If it's a virus, it didn't come from Galaxy or the game you installed unless you downloaded either of them from a site other than GOG.com. If that's what you did, don't do it again: it's a bad idea to download games or software off of any unauthorized sites and not to mention it could be illegal.

To fix your problem, I highly recommend immediately running a full PC scan with whatever security software or antivirus you use. If you're not using one right now, I'd advise finding one that suits your needs; I recommend Kaspersky Security Cloud free, it's powerful and feature-heavy without being too taxing on your PC.

After that, it might be a wise idea to use a tool like Malwarebytes just to be doubly sure that anything causing you a problem is removed.

Ah gotcha, I thought you were saying that you got the virus from Galaxy. My apologies, thanks for the heads up!
