That is screwed up, from more than 1 perspective.

First, they violated trust and installed malware on their users machines.

Second, they broke a cardinal rule of good malware, which is not to be found. Any video card running at full tilt (enough to warrant a constant GPU temp of 93C) is bound to kill system performance.

Third, they were running it on Nvidia cards, which are pretty much useles for mining bitcoins.
