SilentCryptoMiner VS UnamBinder

"Adding an exclusion" links here

Not quite yet.

VoodooShield is legit and since that's made by the same people I would trust it. I wouldn't however trust Defender if I was looking for serious protection for a number one reasons such as how easily it can be circumvented by malware either by disabling it, adding an exclusion or using pre-existing exclusions (the last one doesn't even need admin rights).

You can see they are just repacking existing miners: https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentCryptoMiner/tree/master/SilentCryptoMiner/Resources/Miners

most probably malware. There's this one that can inject itself into explorer.exe and mine crypto. It also probably bypassed the win 11 av since windows defender is pretty bad.

ah ok sorry haha xD i got a little salty there lmao I'd like to get some people from the Monero community to comment here & help request this https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentCryptoMiner/issues/393

They can have crypto miners running on your machine without NFTs, something like this wouldn't be detected by the end user most of the times. They can install these things easily because the users already gave them administrator privileges to run their precious anti-cheats.

That sounds like crypto mining malware that once it detects task manager is open stops to make detection harder. Here's an example of such a miner: https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentCryptoMiner
