Learn to identify and remove malware persistence mechanisms in startup tasks, and discover how websites can secretly use your browser for cryptomining.

Detecting Malware Persistence and Browser Cryptomining

06:55Study Material
This lesson covers practical methods for detecting malware on your computer by analyzing persistence mechanisms. Malware often hides in startup folders, services, or scheduled tasks to survive reboots. Using free tools like Anvir Task Manager, you can monitor recently added startup items and safely disable suspicious ones without destroying your operating system. Additionally, the lesson explains how your computer's processing power can be exploited for cryptomining (e.g., Monero) without your knowledge. This can happen simply by visiting a website running malicious JavaScript, which slows down your machine while mining for the attacker.
