  If you suspect someone is secretly mining Bitcoin on your PC, there are a few steps you can take to investigate. First, check your computer's resource usage. If you notice a sudden increase in CPU or GPU usage, it could be a sign of mining activity. Second, look for any unfamiliar processes in your task manager. If you see any suspicious programs running, do some research to determine their purpose. Third, monitor your network traffic. If you notice a significant increase in data usage, it could be a sign of mining. Finally, consider using an antivirus program that includes mining detection capabilities to scan your PC for any mining software.
