Dangerous malicious applications like Trojan.Bitcoinminer can be spread in several different ways. Also, they might wait for users on the so-called file-sharing pages. Although our researchers know well about distribution methods used to spread malware, they say that the version of the Bitcoin miner that creates the Micro Foundation 7 folder on the system following the successful entrance is mainly spread bundled. In other words, it travels in tiny software packages together with third-party applications, for example, free software. Users are usually quite careless with new software, i.e., they do not double-check new software before installing it on their PCs. Also, they rarely read the information provided for them in the setup wizard. Consequently, they are the ones who allow malware to enter their PCs. Unfortunately, some threats are installed silently, i.e., users are not informed about their installation and, because of this, can do nothing about that, so all users whose PCs are connected to the Internet must have security software installed on their systems.
