Topic: I may have been dosed with malware - page 2. (Read 1142 times)
Antivirus programs are often called malware by mining programs. For this reason, it is unlikely to be a measure against it, but many mining programs are extremely harmless. If you feel unsafe, you can reinstall your system.
AV doesen't always detect new malware. If you suspect you're machine was compromised with malware, the only way to be sure it's cleaned from your system is to do a format of drive the and reinstall of the OS from a known good source.
Well since you don't know what kind of virus it is and antivirus is not finding anything there is no way to know for sure. What antivirus did you use ? If you want to be 100% sure reinstall system.
hello,
I was careless the other day and I downloaded a miner of a link that I thought was trustworthy, the miner worked fine but as soon as i noticed my mistake i deleted it and ran full scans of my computer including boot time scans.
I have not noticed anything happening yet and have found no viruses on my scans but is there a way I can find out if i got infected?
And if so is there a way i can get rid of said infection?
FYI, I clicked a link on a CryptoNoob youtube vid that was re-posted under a different user. What a tool I am!
Cheers
