My PCs have always been ASUS, I have already verified the information,
but because I have always put all the programs there is no presence of it,
however in automatic updates you should be cautious,
there you can enter all the malicious codes.

Yes, it was all over the news. Asus already admitted the hack and released an update to remove the malware. Hopefully it's really clean now.

Thank you for posting this im using my ROG laptop atm and i have disabled updates so i wont get this update with the malware,lets spread this news and help everybody avoid this type of malware be safe everyonei thing we have to carefull about this,
It was good to have news, of course, but has ASUS made a statement on this? An important issue and other brands of computers can also pose a risk.
That is true, you need to turn off the auto update of your laptop especially if you are using it for cryptocurrency.
To make it much better, never search any porn websites. use your laptop privately with cryptocurrency and never download untrusted files.
Lets wait for the ASUS statement for this.
If your Physical Mac address is compromised they can find your PC and send a malware that is why I always use a 3rd party software where I can mask my Physical Mac address to hide my real laptop information including the IP's.
If you guys want to be safe Kaspersky is one of the top 3 antiviruses that I know your cryptocurrencies are safe.
I suggest you if you have an ASUS laptop try to use TMAC where you can generate a random mac to temporary mask your Physical address to hide your laptop information.

I don't have my ASUS laptop but there are too many users that will be affected by this.
Thanks for informing the community.

is this serious? I've used an Asus laptop for more than 4 years. if it is indeed a baner I have to be careful. I will scan the malware hopefully to see if my laptop is safe or not
Yes as mentioned.
I'm also an asus user thanks for this info, i'll be going to check if I also have that update, if this already been around for 3 months, not sure if I can say that my laptop still safe, better to check it up and pray that it won't harm my system, good thing as I always back up my system and if ever that my laptop needs to be formatted I have all the files saves from my spare hard drive.
If ASUS do not say anything to clarify the FUD that has being spreading, then their business will soon crash. This is a very serous issue that needs urgent attention.

This is some good update for all the lappy user here since ASUS is a top brand.
So you just don't update to filter out the malware.

I have one Asus laptop, so I will do the necessary things to do, to make my Asus clean, but what about the other people who are not too techie or do not read articles about the technology.

Thank you for the information, but I don't use Asus, I use Dell 
I hope that Asus will be aware of that news and they will fix the update with the new one to prevent the hackers attack the Asus user.
But I still trying to prevent anything that might comes or attack to my laptop and I always activate Windows Defender which is enough for me to defend my system.

I really appreciate this information, thanks alot for updating us on Asus System. I guess the company we currently be working on how to fix the issue so that their next product wont have the same malware problem and I hope they try everything to aswell update their recent systems sooner.
Apparently i was one of the victims that several months ago i had check my Asus laptop and it was indicated malware which possibly keylogger and actually i do not understand why this is happend because as far i remember this laptop used private and people besides me don't have an access and i think Asus should be explain this because in the future me personally will think twice to use their brand again
is this real? i already read the news about it, but i think it just a rumors, i dont think that big company like asus will passed the QC from specialist, i think when asus dont give any statement with this issue i think it just a rumors

Your device has not been targeted by ShadowHammer attack
Did you check all mac addresses (physical) you get from CMD window? I am not sure this tool can provide correct information is user infected with malware or not, but it seems that hacker/s are targeting specific mac addresses. Asus is patch this exploit, but it remains to see how infected computers will be cleaned, just by antivirus scans or there will be need for a special tool.
It is important to emphasize that users who have Asus devices are not necessarily affected by this exploit, Asus Live Update need to be enabled to this hack works. I use automatic update only in my antivirus, everything else is set to "notify me but do not download it automatically", which is quite a reasonable measure for those who takes care of the computer security.
