I ran a netstat on my machine and found a certain connection with a foreign address...

pool-108-51-140-90:14905

Does anyone know what is this ? Is it a mining pool where I am connected ?

Check your CPU usage, it should be really high like 60% and above if someone is mining on your computer..

Who would even still try and mine bitcoins with others CPU's.

Back in 2012/13 people would spread viruses that mined on their behalf. I heard of someone making a few bits a day from this by infecting work computers. This was when diff was so much lower though.
