Protection against hidden miners

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Hello,
I want to talk about how to protect myself from hidden miners.

For those who do not know what it is:
Hidden miners- is a virus that digs crypto currency using your personal computer to someone else's account,
due to of them your computer starts to work more slowly and you give more money for electricity.

So how do you protect yourself from these hidden miners?
1. Do not download software from suspicious sites.
If you downloaded such software then drop it on the site virustotal.com (not advertising) and most antivirus software will scan this software.

  1. If you suspect that your PC already has a hidden miner then follow the following steps:
  1. Click the "Start" button with the left mouse button.
  2. Select the "Reset" item in the "Shutdown" section.
  3. Immediately when the computer restarts, you need to hold down the F8 keypad. Bitcoin-miner program can resist this option of deletion, so below we will get acquainted with one more way of uninstalling.
  4. The user will go to the window for selecting the type of Windows boot.
  5. You need to select "Safe Mode with Networking".
    In safe mode, Windows will automatically find the hidden miner and prompt you to delete it.

That's all, thank you for your attention
Be careful!!!
