Worth mentioning: I had claude code find a crypto miner on an infected system which had been running for ~5 months undetected. Up-to-date windows 10 machine. Single prompt saying "This PC is using too much power or fans, investigate". Took minutes, completely cleaned up the infection (I hope) and identified its source. Fantastic use-case.

You’re better off wiping and reinstalling the OS than trying to clean the system.
