Remove Epic Scale

Epic Scale (or EpicScale) is a software that allows “volunteers” to be part of scientific projects aiming to “change the world”. “Volunteers” is used with quotation marks because even if it is possible to download it by choice, it’s also offered in the same way as many unwanted programs through free software like uTorrent, which allows a large number of discrete installations. A lot of users are unaware that their computers is being used by Epic Scale, and only discover the program is running after noticing the significant increase in processor load. This is the main reason why it has been classified as potentially unwanted program by at least a dozen anti-virus.

Epic Scale works while the computer is under little pressure or no use at all. All results are supposedly sent to a scientific project. On their site, Epic Scale says that all data is used to solve math problems for weather projections, physics, cryptography including Cryptocurrency mining among others. You should now that cryptocurrency mining burns more than just spare system resources. By making the CPU work harder than it normally would, it also consumes more energy, potentially raising users’ electricity bills.

Epic Scale is configured to run by default continuously, slowing down your computer if you try to use it for anything else.
