I was messing around on a spare system and attempted to install a cracked version of Malwarebytes. It had an interesting payload, it tried to install a bitcoin miner program. Not sure where the code is executing yet, it is unrelenting. Interesting enough since it updated Malwarebytes is blocking the subprogram install.
I may follow up if I have a chance to take another look before I wipe C drive and install 11 which I was planning to do anyway.
Edit: BTW this is why even thinking about running a cracked version of an A/V program is complete stupidity. It's like the fox guarding the hen house. I was just messing around before I wiped and upgraded that system to Win 11.
