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

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.

Dont be mad at me but I bought the game from GOG :)

I mean, it's an mtx-free, drm-free, full feature game. If BG3 isn't worth paying for, I don't know what is.

Yes. If such developers are not awarded then they will also switch to the dark side.
