The pill has Trojan in itself. Today it was detected by Microsoft Anti-malware as Trojan:Win32/Occamy.C

Actually that explains a lot of my recent multiple BSODs and freezes (no overclocking and no other hardware changes in my system: 2xEVGA 1070 + 2xEVGA 1080). However, after removal of the pill, the system is stable again. Funny, because it was stable for couple of months with the pill. It appears that remote attackers tried to build a "little" botnet  - I believe many of us have put the pill in a startup script.

Here is another interesting article about the trojan type:

Where did you download  the pill anyway? Also, this isn't a serious thing. Ethlargement pill will control your GPU's memory timing. This isn't a threat at all so ignore the warning.
