Hello guys,

My two mining rigs were mining flawlessly BTCZ and XVG for some time. Lately, for almost a month to be precise i was mining BTCZ and then 11 days ago i left to spend some tome with my gf away from home. Ofcourse rigs worked 24/7 without a single problem.

When i came back home i decided to switch to XVG and let it mine for some time so i can see is it still 'profitable', and both of my rigs instantly hit me with the message THREAT FOUND from a windows defended. Defender is reporting that there is a Trojan in Win32/bitrep.a.
Ofcourse I googled ASAP and there was alot fo warning that we should delete this Trojan ASAP because its dangerous, but after googling further there was few topics saying that its not a virus and that its completely fine to let it stay there.
I forgot to mention when I went into defender, i got kinda scared and removed that 'virus', my miners just stopped mining and started throwing some errors or something at me. xD

I dont know what to do.

Thank you!
