    After downloading (and installed probably) I don't know what audio software or plug my free version of 'Malwarebytes' application has detected a malware hidden on my system: OSX.BirdMiner.
    Well, OSX.Birdminer uses the xmrig software to mine cryptocurrencies using the resources of affected computers. :woot:

    I'm not sure what it means in details and how harmful/dangerous it is, so to be on the safe side I quarantined it. :knock:
    I don't know if this has happened to you, please scan your OSX just in case.

    You can read about the OSX.BirdMiner problems here:

    I hope this helps :mates:
