Looks like Nicehash's recommendation to "add an exception for Nicehash directory", is allowing them to slip trojans on your system.

I'm not talking about "Miner" trojans, but actual, real (?) RATs, that allow remote control over your system. I guess that explains why my monitor kept coming out of sleep mode on my other PC.

Very NOT GOOD.

Most recent .19 Nicehash miner, Defender found trojans in miniZ.exe and Zenemy.exe miner plugins.

BE WARNED!
