Anyone who downloaded the GOG Baldur's Gate 3 release from 1337x, scan with Malwarebytes asap! (kbin.social)

It looks like a bitcoin miner was included in the installer, and the admins on 1337x may or may not give a shit apparently. Scanned my pc and my wifes and found the same stuff the others mentioned.

According to the other comments, don't feel the need to uninstall as the miner was installed separate to the game, just give a Malwarebytes scan to get rid of the junk.

You shouldn't trust anything uploaded there by IGGGames. They've been caught before adding miners to their files. I downloaded the rune release somewhere else seeing as they were the uploader on 1337x. I only really use 1337x for fitgirl repacks.

Why not from fitgirl page directly?

I mean I do grab the torrent link from the fitgirl site, but I find the torrent faster to download than the direct download links.
