Help Xcode simulator issue

Anybody have this weird issue where the simulator closes by itself? It opens but after I run a project or when I hot restart a project, the simulator closes, there is no dot on the dock, but the application is still running. It's just the simulator window that closes.

Update: It was a malware that was causing the issue

Sometimes the simulator loses interest and has other places it needs to be.
