MinerSearch: Find and Kill Hidden Crypto Miners
Tired of your PC sounding like it’s mining Mars?
MinerSearch hunts down sneaky crypto miners hijacking your CPU/GPU for someone else’s profit.
It’s free, open-source, and built by BlendLog. Not an antivirus — just a sharp tool that sniffs out hidden miners, registry junk, and sketchy background processes.
What It Actually Does
- Scans your system for silent miners running in the shadows.
- Flags anything eating CPU/GPU like it pays rent.
- Targets files, services, registry keys, and tasks linked to miner behavior.
- Lets you quarantine or delete them.
- Gives detailed logs so you know exactly what got nuked.
Features That Matter
Multilingual — English, Russian, Chinese.
CLI Mode — add parameters like --skip-servicesor--no-rootkit.
Quarantine Manager — restore or shred flagged files.
Portable AF — unzip, run, done.
Frequent Updates — keeps up with new miner variants.
System Needs
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher.
- Works on Windows 7+ (though support for 7 is fading faster than your trust in antivirus).
How to Use It
- Download and unzip it.
- Run the .exe.
- Wait for scan results — you’ll see suspects pop up.
- Quarantine or delete as you wish.
- Optionally share logs with the dev to help improve it.
v1.4.8.1 — What’s New
- Smarter detection of new miner types.
- Faster version check.
- Fixed false positives (like RobloxPlayer).
- Cleaner logs, better translations.
- Bug fixes for task deletion and parameter parsing.
Real Talk
First scan, it found a miner that my antivirus didn’t even notice.
So yeah, this thing’s legit.
Reminder
You’re responsible for your own setup.
Download from trusted links, verify files, and stay updated.
MinerSearch is your sidekick, not your superhero suit.
The repo appears to be a genuine anti-miner utility (not a crypto miner/wallet grabber) but should still be built from source and used cautiously.
