64Kilences.exe CPU Miner

Posted: May 23, 2018

The 64Kilences.exe CPU Miner is a variant of the XMRig miner which, however, has been modified to work without the permission of the user. Trojan miners like the ones using the process '64Kilences.exe' are often used by cybercriminals to create a network of infected computers whose processing power is used to mine for Monero or other cryptocurrencies that can be mined via a CPU. Having the 64Kilences.exe CPU Miner active on your computer means that you are likely to experience major issues in terms of PC performance. The mining process is likely to consume over 90% of the available CPU resources, therefore reducing the speed at which the operating system and other software will work at greatly. Furthermore, the mining operation is likely to increase the temperature at which your CPU operates, and this might cause system instability. A long-term consequence of a Trojan miner could be the reduced lifespan of the processor and CPU cooler.

The rapid increase in the price of cryptocurrencies has forced many cybercriminals to look for ways to make money from this field. Naturally, they do not do this legally, and they resort to using these Trojan miners to exploit the computers of their victims silently. Often, these miners might be distributed via pirated software, fake downloads and low-quality software bundles. A good way to stay safe is to use a trustworthy anti-virus software suite that will keep unsafe files like these away from your computer.

However, the 64Kilences.exe CPU Miner is certainly not the only Trojan miner being distributed at the moment, and there are countless other Trojan miners that you must be wary of. Some of the latest additions to SpywareRemove.com's list of active Trojan miners are:
