        A process can change its name. If I wanted to make sneaky malware for Linux, I’d have it call itself more or something innocuous too.

        The correct answer is “this is not enough information”. Why should a real more process eat ¼ of a core for any substantial amount of time?

          is there like a competent antivirus i could use: the system is freshly installed and i havent used any shady software; everything from the repo and a hash checked tor browser(I didnt visit any shady site just clearnet browsing)

            Then it’s probably just more. Again: your post did not contain enough information for anyone to provide an answer to your question.

            Antivirus doesn’t do what it promises. The only general solution for a compromised system is a clean reinstall. (This is true in Windows too.)

            There are several antivirus solutions for Linux, but you shouldn’t need them if you do not execute stuff you downloaded outside of your package manager. The maintainers of your distribution are supposed to check if their packages contain viruses.
