Bitcoin virus is a generic term for cryptocurrency-mining malware (cryptojacking) that hijacks a computer’s CPU or GPU to mine digital currencies like Bitcoin or Monero without user consent. These infections are typically distributed via malicious links, infected email attachments, compromised websites, or pirated software.
Common symptoms include severe system slowdowns, high CPU/GPU usage, overheating, and increased electricity bills. While some variants merely s†éál processing power, others act as Trojans that can also harvest sensitive data, install ransomware, or s†éál crypto wallet keys.
Detection methods include checking for abnormal process loads in the Task Manager or Activity Monitor and running reputable antivirus software. Removal often requires uninstalling suspicious applications, clearing browser extensions, and using specialized malware removal tools.
