Win32/Bocinex is a malware threat that initiates a Bitcoin mining client, detected as Program:Win32/CoinMiner. The client is configured to attribute newly created Bitcoin digital cash, or "BTC", to an attacker's Bitcoin account. Win32/Bocinex may spread via spam email attachments, through malicious links using instant messaging, or through downloads of its installer that is hidden as another useful program. The installer is often a file with a random name that comes in the form of a self-extracting executable archive (RarSFX), for example, as in "169E.exe" or "9D1A.exe". Remove Win32/Bocinex as early as possible from the infected computer.
