cpu miner what is the use for it and how to get rid of it

jeffrys · 25 Nov 2015

hey guys,

CPU MINER comes up in the task manager (something to do with Bitcoins) and i want to get rid of it.

Do not find anything in the registry, in fact do not find it anywhere.

But i do not want it.

Is there a program or something that i can do to solve this problem?

Thanks

Jeff

hi guys,

wanted to let this go, but make here a clarification:

- did remove CPU MINER in Program & Features BEFORE i posted here.

some days later i opened Task Manager and Cpu Miner was still there. So i searched the Registry and did not find anything.

Ended the program in the Task Manager, thinking it was still working. I believe it just was there doing nothing, since now it does not appear again.

thanks

@jefferys, you might want to look in Task Scheduler and see if something is left over there too.
