what can i do to fully clean it
Prob has the Nicehash FIRMWARE wich was known to be "manipulated".
the Custom FW from nicehash has a backdoor were this scammers let them change your mining settings.
It was aknown issue and thats who nicehash started, they were focused on custom firmwares at the beggining rather than pool.
the Nicehash firmware backdoor can be removed by flashing to org bitmain firmwares , you need to clean the entire memory from the controller board "BBB".

flashing the board with the firmware by sd card
today i did flash the board with the card and then i try to upload the new firmware but wasnt possible.
i saw in the l3+ firmware the first in the list its described as sd recovery from 2019
should i use just instead ?
No as the virus will reload its self..
the sd card will erase the virus (maybe) if you are lucky.
or you need a new controller.
depends on how good the virus is

ok thanks
can i use my mac or i can only do it with pc with windows
i also found out of a bitman antivirus but also said i need windows 7 or higher....
do i need a pc ?
you can do stuff on mac and use chrome or microsoft edge browser.
I have not had much luck using safari browsers last year or so.
ok thanks i will try ..... but what you mean ... hasnt work for you ??
my macminis have
safari
chrome
microsoft edge
firefox
I cant get great results running safari.
But if i use chrome or microsoft edge. it works on the mac minis.
yes thanks i manage to use to mac as a pc.... but the miner still infected..
i flashed with the sd card and then i try to upgrade the firmware but didnt aloud me....
and after a while startrd again to log into the nicehash pool.
When you went to flash the firmware using you Mac did you use chrome browser or did you use Firefox browser or lastly did you try using Microsoft edge browser.
It won't flash the firmware using Mac and safari .
I think it will flash using Firefox and a Mac.
you may need a windows to flash it.
https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003595387-How-to-reset-miner-to-factory-settings-
there is bitmains instructions to reset to factory defaults. When you do this make sure its Not hooked to the internet but do leave it hooked to a clean PC/notebook/phone via local area network so you can access its web interface at its default address.
When its done factory resetting and you have access to its web interface Make sure you change its default PW before hooking it back to the internet.

There are internet bots that search for ASIC miners that have not had their factory password changed and then change the internal settings. A factory reset to the device while on a LAN not connected to the internet and then a password change might do the trick.
ok thanks
i will try but how can i connect the antminer to the lan but not to the internet ??
i also realized i need a pc..... cant do it with the mac
So home internet router. Unplug the incoming internet cable to the router but leave the cable hooked to the ASIC. If you have a wireless router you can still access the Asics web interface with the phone hooked to the wifi.

Have you installed firmware from other sources than Bitmain recently?
Or maybe your PC or the device you currently use to change the pool is infected so try to change the pool on other device
If the issue still the same try to flash the miner through SD card flashing.
You can follow this guide below on how to flash the miner through an SD card.
