Is it a virus? or miner?

Hello. Recently, the laptop started to overheat, sometimes even when nothing is running. Cleaning and changing thermal paste did not work. Then I noticed that when the laptop starts to overheat (that is, it starts to buzz strongly), start the task manager, then it immediately stops buzzing. Never met this. There are no suspicious processes in the manager. Only one, vds.exe. It is located not in system32, but in C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\{0NMMK-TPYY9-U884X-SFTPF-SY27E-VMXWX}\1\vds.exe and there are many such folders in Temp. And each has vds.exe. I didn't find anything in the scheduler. Antivirus does not find anything when scanning the file. Sometimes the laptop starts to really slow down, and when I turn off this process (vds.exe), then everything becomes normal. Well, I'm going to delete all these files anyway, I just want to clarify, this is a virus that "lurks" when starting the dispatcher, or is it a miner? (Just recently, complaints about miners in game repacks have become more frequent, etc.)

Guessing by file name is a thankful task. Virustotal to the rescue.
