Slmgr32.exe CPU Miner

The Slmgr32.exe CPU Miner is a Trojan cryptocurrency miner, which may be executed on the computers of random users automatically. The miner is usually delivered without the user's knowledge, with the assistance of fake downloads or pirated software that has been modified to install the Slmgr32.exe CPU Miner. While this application is not unsafe, its installation may lead to poor computer performance since cryptocurrency miners may often consume a significant amount of the computer's resources to execute their mining duties. The Slmgr32.exe CPU Miner is programmed to modify the Windows Registry to create autostart entries for 'Slmgr32.exe' and 'Mfds.exe.'

Both of the processes mentioned above are used to mine the Monero cryptocurrency, which is transferred to the account of the miner's author automatically. Apart from utilizing over 70% of the victim's CPU resources, the miner also may use the GPU, therefore reducing the PC's performance in games and heavy software significantly.

Since the Slmgr32.exe CPU Miner takes the necessary measures to disguise its processes and files, the only way to remove it is to use a suitable and up-to-date anti-malware utility that is able to deal with Trojan miners.
