Token wallets with coinminer virus

[thesmallgod]

A few weeks ago i discovered that my laptop battery that can last for 3 hours when it is not plugged to an external source can not use up to an hour before it shut down. I first I thought my battery is bad but i was so curious to know how my system can start behaving like that after i recently installed a token wallet. I restarted my laptop and I discovered the CPU usage is very high and the laptop was always very hot. I opened start  task manager and i checked on application running underground and I discovered there was one coinminer.exe with very high cpu usage. I was forced to install malwarebyte on my laptop and when I scanned the laptop. I was surprise to see more than 45 threats with extentions related to cryptocurrencies. the point is that many of our activities relating to crypto inflict our laptop with virus. unless you have very strong malware software you may not know this.

It's good that you pay attention to such things (others may not). Which wallet are you talking about btw? It will be helpful if you share here.

A MUST DO: Always be cautious with what you click or download, our PC can be infected with just one click. Whether or not the software or files we download are connected to cryptocurrency, it is really advisable to have a good anti-malware / anti-virus software for protection.

Thanks for the info, but you will do better by giving the name of the wallet and it will be of great help to the community.
