I suspect that someone may be using my computer to mine Bitcoin without my knowledge. Is there a way to find out if this is happening? I want to protect my computer and ensure that my resources are not being exploited for someone else's gain.

    Yes, there are ways to find out if someone is using your computer to mine Bitcoin. One option is to use specialized software that can detect and monitor mining activities on your computer. These software programs can analyze your computer's processes and network connections to identify any mining software or suspicious activities. Another option is to check your computer's resource usage. Mining Bitcoin requires a significant amount of processing power, so if you notice a sudden increase in CPU or GPU usage, it could be a sign of mining activity. Additionally, you can monitor your computer's network traffic to see if there are any connections to known mining pools or mining software. By using these methods, you can determine if someone is using your computer for mining and take appropriate measures to stop it.
