HI! Recently, I noticed that my imac began to warm up very strongly to 86 degrees when I just turn it on and do nothing

I opened the monitoring system and noticed two tasks that load 100 percent, I took a screenshot and they immediately disappeared.

Google did not give requests for them!

Such a question! I was hacked?

It's a cryptocurrency miner that was likely installed along with a download of some sort.

Malwarebytes for Mac will likely be able to remove it. You can use the free version for this.

I thought so, knowingly loads the processor and video card

I installed avast and found the files, deleting them manually, will this help?
 
"I installed avast and found the files, deleting them manually, will this help?"

Yes, that should do it.

But MalwareBytes (running in "free mode") is "all you need"...
