As a lesson, never install random programs from the internet. Also always check the CPU usage; if it's continuously high and you don't mine locally, maybe somebody else does.
And sometimes a scan with VirusTotal can give you some extra info (although it has its false positives too).
Yeah right, but unfortunately scanning using virustotal will not be useful because the virus will enter when we install it. But it's better to be careful of cloudmining that is just known and doesn't have good feedback. It could be that the software provided by cloudmining contains spyware which can steal our private key.
It's an open secret if you first uploaded the application on
https://www.virustotal.com/ you'll find out that this cloud mining are virus-infected, it seems you ignore all the warning and choose to proceed and you give permission to your anti virus to proceed although it is showing positive signs of viruses, this is a lesson for you.
It's useless, most software owned by cloud mining has a crypter that can encrypt the viruses they insert, so when an antivirus tries to scan it looks like everything looks fine because all the viruses have been encrypted. My suggestion is to use a paid antivirus that always updates on new viruses, so they can scan even if the virus is encrypted.
