The main issue with Win32/bitrep.a. is the fact that criminals and botnets are pushing this to remote mine on machines.
So there is no real way to determine who is using it legit and who is pushing it onto machines to mine off the radar.
I would double check your systems to make sure there is nothing else lurking there and possibly check the security on your machines.
If you scan the file on www.virustotal.com and post the results I can have a check to see that it is indeed the original file or if its been modified.
Your machine should be ok I would just ignore the defender warning if you are sure you downloaded the miner from a legitimate source and trust the vendor.
If not remove it recover the machine wipe the drive and start again..
Topic: PC suddenly finds a trojan - bitrep.a (Read 221 times)
Hello guys,
My two mining rigs were mining flawlessly BTCZ and XVG for some time. Lately, for almost a month to be precise i was mining BTCZ and then 11 days ago i left to spend some tome with my gf away from home. Ofcourse rigs worked 24/7 without a single problem.
When i came back home i decided to switch to XVG and let it mine for some time so i can see is it still 'profitable', and both of my rigs instantly hit me with the message THREAT FOUND from a windows defended. Defender is reporting that there is a Trojan in Win32/bitrep.a.
Ofcourse I googled ASAP and there was alot fo warning that we should delete this Trojan ASAP because its dangerous, but after googling further there was few topics saying that its not a virus and that its completely fine to let it stay there.
I forgot to mention when I went into defender, i got kinda scared and removed that 'virus', my miners just stopped mining and started throwing some errors or something at me. xD
I dont know what to do.
Thank you!
