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.
Of course but it’s usually pretty easy to filter out the false positives that always appear as a Trojan (because of the file modification payload) vs a crypto miner

Do you have a guide or anything I can checkout? I usually google what flags show up and use big name uploaders but never know for sure.
