xm32b.exe CPU Miner

The xm32b.exe CPU Miner is an irritating application whose purpose is to exploit the CPU's processing power to mine for various cryptocurrencies, but mainly Monero. The special thing about this software kind is that it is legitimate, but cybercrooks are modifying it so that it can run on computers and generate Monero for its authors silently. While this is not as threatening as high-profile malware, it can be quite annoying since the xm32b.exe CPU Miner is likely to consume a lot of hardware resources, and users who have it on their PCs might not be able to use the full potential of their computers.

Usually, these CPU miners are spread via various illicit digital content – game cracks, software keygens, adult videos, pirated media, fake downloads, etc. The CPU miner does not cause any visible changes to the system, and users are likely to notice a problem only when they try to use software that requires a lot of hardware resources. There are many cybercrooks who utilize Trojan miners currently so that the xm32b.exe CPU Miner is only one more of the many processes that might be linked to Trojan miners. Some of the other Trojan miners that researchers came across in recent weeks are:

The good news is that this software is not a direct threat to your online safety, and it can't cause immediate damage to your files. However, having the xm32b.exe CPU Miner running for long might reduce your CPU's lifespan since it will be forced to operate under higher voltage & temperature constantly. If you suspect that a Trojan CPU Miner is running on your computer, there are two ways to check whether this is true – either run a credible anti-virus software suite that will identify and dispose of potential threats or check the Task Manager for suspicious processes that consume a significant portion of the CPU resources available currently.
