Do not install software which you do not really need or from "unknown" software providers. Use anti-virus scanner.
I wouldn't trust anti-virus scanners on this as they come behind the viruses. Not only they could have miners working in background. They could have wallet stealers and keyloggers. All they need is to get one right person affected and it pays off for them.
I am always assuming if i get warez or programs from unknown sources that they have viruses. I am using a virtual enviroment for them if i need to install one and keep my computer with my real email and
I get a lot of people in twitter telling me they want to buy promotion from me with a good price. They send me something that look like contract documents or something like that in .rar packages but after closer look they have another extention after .doc extention. (aka viruses)
I am betting people are falling these a lot because they keep doing this scam.
