Riskware.BitCoinMiner keeps coming back after restart


Recommended Posts

I noticed performance on my PC has been worse than usual over the last week or two, and that the fans are always spooled up very loudly and my pc runs very hot.  I ran a scan with Malwarebytes and it detected two malware entries for Riskware.BitcoinMiner.  After quarantining them and restarting my PC, I ran the scan again and they showed up again. Tried multiple times and each time my PC restarts they come back.  Attached the Malwarebytes log and FRST/Addition.txt logs.

Hello nasdaq,

I followed your instructions, removed program CPU-Z, enabled Windows Firewall, restored Chrome settings, and ran updated attached fixlist.txt in FRST.  After running the fix in FRST it asked me to restart my PC. After restarting my PC I ran Malwarebytes scan again and it still detected Riskware.BitCoinMiner, but only 1 entry instead of 2. I did not run Chrome or any other programs any time after I restarted my PC until after the scan was complete.
