When is starts synch - I have to wait, while it finishes it, yes?
How much time it takes really?

Did you download one of the blockchains from the OP so that you dont have to sync as much?

No, I can't understand where to download it.

http://monero.cc/downloads/blockchain/win/blockchain.bin

Then place in %appdata%\bitmonero

Ok. After I download it and place it into a folder, I'll have to restart process? It means, I'll have to run .bat file again?

Yes, exit simplewallet and bitmonerod if they are open and restart once you have placed the blockchain in the correct place.

Ok, thank you! I appreciate your help. But, I have to notice, that there are too few information in the internet. All the links with instructions you gave to me did not provide me with all the necessary information.

I told you already – the coin is hopeless! By mining it, you may damage your PC and support a bunch of scammers.

It sounds silly and unfounded.
I know that haters gonna hate, but we should be more polite.

I don't want to be polite to them. I'm saying the truth. Monero devs are incompetent and what they’re best in is their copy-paste code writing method.

I downloaded this one:
http://monero.cc/downloads/monero.win.x64.latest.zip

Here I have files:
- bitmonerod.exe
- connectivity_tool.exe
- simpleminer.exe
- simplewallet.exe

That file you linked is from this thread where he confirms it as being xptMiner, which is for mining Riecoin.

Seriously, go troll elsewhere you two.

Hey! What u mean? I just try to understand how to start using this coin. It's not so easy, so I need some help. Thanks for some guys who try to help me. If you do not want to see my messages, just ignore me, what is the problem?

There's one thing I don't quite understand – does Monero team really spread viruses and infect miners’ computers?

What makes you think so? Never heard of it, sounds weird.

Check this link out, the file is a part of Monero code which users download: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e2e6b6938879142c4e35542b5fe8d3eeec7bf9e682f915213fda009097c3878e/analysis/1401909211/

Turns out, lots of PCs may have gotten infected already. Does it mean they could redirect the coins I’ve been mining to a different wallet, i.e., steal it on the flow?

That file isn't part of the Monero distributable package - literally a few posts up Brad_BCK confirmed the contents of the Monero binaries:

I believe there was an errant GPU miner, nothing to so with the Monero team.
