Bitmining Virus

wazza300 · 8 Jul 2013 at 13:11

I think ive got one of these bitcoin/mining viruses,if I leave my pc alone for 15-20 minutes the gpu starts to run at full clocks and cpu temp hits 65c

so far ive tried malwarebytes and its got rid of a few things but its still doing it

anyone have any idea's on how to get rid?

no ill try those thanks,only tried malwarebytes so far

tried adwcleaner and its still doing it

doing a full scan now with avg pro

I wonder if its anything else? soon as I move the mouse it stops so I can't get in task manager fast enough to see what process it is

66c is pretty high load

ive left it open,it opens three things and cpu shoots up to 75% and gpu to full clocks,its definatly a mining virus

if you leave the pc untouched and don't move the mouse for 20 minutes it does it,soon as you move the mouse it stops

and its proving a real pain to get rid of,so far ive done full virus scan,system restore to last week and various adware/spyware scans and its still there

I can boot up from my other ssd/os think that will be better than safe mode? and scan the infected hdd/os

I forget what they are

ocl.exe I think one of them is another is remote desktop console and cant remember the other

ill post them up when this scans done

See post #5.

kia it won't let me download the iso,its just a blank page

I would re-install windows as a last resort,its on a big 2tb hdd and nearly full which is a pain,hoping I can remove it

that link is working,ill try it once this scanning thing has finished,takes forever

just an update,seems ive got rid of it

I still see cpu.exe pop up and two versions of conhost.exe,soon as I move the mouse they go off

but the cpu usage stays at 0-1% and not 99%,same for gpu

not sure what got rid of it I used kapwersky disc above which took nearly two days of scanning for 4tb

and I used stopzilla,gotta say its the hardest virus ive had to get rid of
