I never tried to join before to an mining pool so today i tried join but i didn't know how and i still do not. I went somehow to EWBF's Cuda Zcash miner topic on bitcoin forum and i went to download software through the link they provided but my browser didn't want me to download because of virus but i installed then created a new batch file inside the folder where the miner is but there other file they placed their own address and parameter connection and started mining on its self, My Physical memory went from 15% to 100% immediately soo i started my machine on safe mode then removed 17 viruses only from their software with malwarebytes but Physical memory is still 75% i checked memory but task manager didn't show something suspicious, My question is there any other way to know if my machine is still mining, Second.. How to connect to stratum+tpc.... Third.. Why moderators doesn't remove this topic their software has more than 17 viruses inside...

Your PC got hijacked by a stubborn trojan that uses CPU resources in the background to mine coins, sorry pal it's near impossible to remove this trojan completely, I suggest you format your HDD, use NICEHASH Miner next time, it's more safer and it support zcash mining
