2 Computer Viruses, Malicious Logic, and Spyware
user is actually seriously concerned by the problem of infection of the computer with
mining software, it is necessary to follow a number of well-known recommendations.
First of all, regularly install all operating system updates (be sure: information
security specialists get paid for a reason). It is necessary to use antivirus software
with active mining. Even if antiviruses fail to detect the miner, they will most likely
identify the presence of the dropper program, the main goal of which consists in
covert installation of the miner.
And, of course, it is necessary to remember old yet efficient protection methods:
don’t click suspicious links on the Internet or open spam in your inbox; install only
legal software.
