Cliptomaner Miner

Posted: November 11, 2020

The Cliptomaner Miner is a harmful computer application that is likely to be hidden inside pirated games and software, fake downloads or corrupted email attachments. Users who are exposed to the Cliptomaner Miner may not notice anything out of the ordinary at first, but this is only because this threat does not try to cause obvious trouble or damage. Instead, the Trojan miner works in the background and uses almost all of the available CPU resources to mine for the Monero cryptocurrency. Because of this, victims of the Cliptomaner Miner are likely to experience problems with their system's performance and stability. Applications may take a long time to load, and some computers may overheat.

The Cliptomaner Miner may reside on devices under different names, and removing it manually is out of the question. The easiest way to identify a potential cryptocurrency miner infection is to check your list of running processes – if any random, unknown process is using over 80-90% of the CPU, then there may be something suspicious about it. You should identify and remove the Trojan miner by running an up-to-date anti-malware service.
