This certainly looks like a CPU / cryptocurrency Miner trojan which not only slows down your computer, but also can pose a security threat. The script files c:\windows\xdgaudio.vbs and c:\windows\servicecrsssr.vbs should be deleted. That’s not enough. Run a thorough scan using Malwarebytes antimalware, and also scan with the antivirus software you’re using.
