Team.exe CPU Miner

The Team.exe CPU Miner is a Trojan miner based on the XMRig project, and its purpose is to exploit the processor of the victim to mine for various cryptocurrencies like Monero. Although Monero is the primary cryptocurrency that Trojan miners target, it is possible that some variants might opt to mine other cryptocurrencies, which support CPU mining. The Team.exe CPU Miner is considered to be an undesired and annoying application because it may ruin your computer's performance and shorten the lifespan of your processor by keeping it underloaded at all times, therefore increasing its average temperature.

Trojan miners might be distributed via various methods, and having them running on your computer might be difficult to notice since they do not bring any visible changes to the way your computer operates. The only major symptom of an unwanted CPU miner is the fact that the process associated with it will be using a significant amount of the CPU resources (often over 70-80%). This may prevent you from playing games, using CPU-intensive software, or even using regular applications like your Web browser.

It seems that the con artists are quite interested in Trojan miners since they keep on distributing various modified variants of the the XMRig. Some of the latest process names that we've found to be linked to Trojan minings are:

Although an intermediate PC user might be able to identify and remove Trojan miners manually, it is much better to take care of their removal with the assistance of a trustworthy anti-malware utility.
