not sure if it is malware...

[muskel]

Dear helpers,
first: I really respect your ambitions to help other people! Thank you so much!

My Problem:
I noticed during the last few days that especially "games" run slower than usual. This can be by many reasons. So I checked several things like
"FPS" in game -> everything allright
"a fast and constant internetconnection" -> everything allright
"core temperature of my CPU" -> seems okay (56°C maximum isn't critical I think)
"gamespecific connectionproblems to the server" -> everything allright
"unnecessary programs running in background" -> couldn't find any in the task manager
"viruses" -> Avira Antivir (updated) couldn't find anything, neither could ad-aware solve the problem. (By the way: I don't run both programs at the same time! )

So I thought about malware.. unfortunately my knowledge about malware isn't good enough, so I beg you to help me here!
