A,C Correct answer
Explanation

An active virus typically shows high CPU usage as it runs malicious processes in the background. Legitimate viruses usually run under the user's context (your username) rather than the System process, though sophisticated malware can disguise itself. Memory consumption is not a definitive indicator as legitimate programs can also use high memory. Task Manager's Processes tab helps identify suspicious processes running under your user account with unusual CPU usage.
