Zminer.exe Miner

It is amazing how the cyber crooks are always finding new ways to make easy money no matter how or at any cost. The crypto-miners are the new trend since the crypto-currency is becoming very strong and providing a quick profit to its owners. Another crypto-miner named Zminer.exe Miner was uncovered by security researchers recently. The Zminer.exe Miner can find it's way to your computer when you get a freeware from the Web without paying attention to its installation details. What make crypto-miners so complicated is that their work is very stealthy so that it is not easy to perceive its presence. However, if a computer becomes slowly and irresponsive out of nowhere, it is a sign that there is something that may be consuming its power by using it to execute other actions. This always happens when a crypto-miner is inside a machine. A crypto-miner can consume around 70% of the machine's power, which will end up damaging the affected computer.

Novice computer users may not be able to deduce that the poor performance of their machines is due to a parasite that is using their machines without their knowledge. If you are experiencing the symptoms described above, you should take urgent actions to detect if your computer is housing a crypto-miner by scanning your computer with a dedicated malware scanner. In case the detection comes positive, your anti-malware program will be able to remove it securely, as long as it is up-to-date.
