I 'think' I'm posting in the right place.  This is my second or third post here ever.  Wanted to warn and point out, though I feel there is no way to substantiate.  Had two systems crap out earlier today, DAG file hitting 200 and so forth.  I went to what I'm thinking was github rather than the megashare or googledrive sites.  The 11.8 windows install file on github is questionable.

I kept an eye on it when I fired it up and noticed it was ming more than ethereum on one of my systems that I only mine ethereum on.  Did some troubleshooting.  It seems whatever I downloaded was modified/hacked/tweaked and was dual mining off to some mystery wallet that I never found.  There was a bunch of stuff in red text too about how it couldn't login to a bunch of stratum servers that I hadn't put in the bat file to begin with.  I noticed all this and remembered that I had never went with the googledrive nor megashare URLs.  Nor did I even look for an MD5 file.

maybe there was a DNS routing hack or something when I downloaded it, who knows.  Just wanted to post a warning to others.

What led me to github rather than megashare or googledrive was by doing a google search for the miner.  The github search result was one of the ones listed.  I somehow went with version 11.8, not 11.9.  I upgraded from 10.1
