This attack of the newbies is like a swarm of gnats. Itchy little blighters.

I am thankful to Nicehash for two things. First, quickminer, which I dare to run on my main pc. Nicehash are a legitimate business with a lot to lose and that makes me feel ok about using their service. And second, it is good to inform the community when strange things are happening. The warning about PhoenixMiner is well received.
