    It is probably not malware but Adobe Flash that is making your fans go wild. You can disable flash, as long as you're not using YouTube or other sites which require it.

    There are programs like Speed Fan which can be used to regulate fan speed.

    I would if I could find it, but even one of those programs that find malware couldn't isolate it.
