Or maybe your PC or the device you currently use to change the pool is infected so try to change the pool on other device If the issue still the same try to flash the miner through SD card flashing. You can follow this guide below on how to flash the miner through an SD card. - https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000216034-L3-L3-and-L3-Control-Board-Program-Recovery For the SD card firmware, you can download it from here https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Flashing%20SD%20card%20with%20image Once successfully flash it again through WebGUI on other devices just download the firmware from Bitmain.

the sd card will erase the virus (maybe) if you are lucky. or you need a new controller. depends on how good the virus is screen shots would help us Title: Re: antminer l3+ keep changing pool address...help Post by: Nhazwrath on June 05, 2021, 09:25:25 PM There are internet bots that search for ASIC miners that have not had their factory password changed and then change the internal settings. A factory reset to the device while on a LAN not connected to the internet and then a password change might do the trick.

Unplug the incoming internet cable to the router but leave the cable hooked to the ASIC. If you have a wireless router you can still access the Asics web interface with the phone hooked to the wifi.

the Custom FW from nicehash has a backdoor were this scammers let them change your mining settings. It was aknown issue and thats who nicehash started, they were focused on custom firmwares at the beggining rather than pool. the Nicehash firmware backdoor can be removed by flashing to org bitmain firmwares , you need to clean the entire memory from the controller board "BBB".

there is bitmains instructions to reset to factory defaults. When you do this make sure its Not hooked to the internet but do leave it hooked to a clean PC/notebook/phone via local area network so you can access its web interface at its default address. When its done factory resetting and you have access to its web interface Make sure you change its default PW before hooking it back to the internet.

When you went to flash the firmware using you Mac did you use chrome browser or did you use Firefox browser or lastly did you try using Microsoft edge browser. It won't flash the firmware using Mac and safari . I think it will flash using Firefox and a Mac. you may need a windows to flash it.
