BitCoinMiner Malware


Recommended Posts

I have recently noticed that my CPU and GPU temps seemed to be higher than usual. I asked my friend about it (who knew a thing or two about computers) and he told me that it might be a malware and advised me to download Malwarebytes to check. I did not think it would be the case but after the initial scan, I was notified there are malwares found in my temp file in which was quarantined immediately and removed. However, after every restart, I would still get a notification from Malwarebytes that it detected a malware of the same name and location and I would quarantine and remove again. How can I get rid of this malware permanently? i tried using different software as well such as HitmanPro, Zemana AntiMalware, etc. but still no permanent fix so far.

Hi,

Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to  the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The Computer will restart when the fix is completed.

It will create a log (Fixlog.txt).
