Crypto Miner Malware

Hello Shridhar Bharthulwar,

in what way would such a list be of help? And are you asking specifically about remove?

Malware
specific detections for miners (like XMRig) are usually not classified as malware even though the miners "steal" resources. Most of them arent't delivered by some malicious act but deliberately run by users. Thus they are among Adware and PUAs, a scheduled scan is required to remove them (though they are blocked by On-Access scanning).
"Sneakily" running miners are in the Virus/Spyware category, detections are "semi-generic" (like Troj/Miner-XX), or generic (Mal/Generic-S), there are rarely monikers. Many can be automatically cleaned up or removed.

Hi Shridhar Bharthulwar 

Thank you for your post. As suggested by Christian , Miners are not necessarily Malwares unless it is used unauthorized and undesirably. So we categorize these miners under PUA as given here. Sophos would detect these applications as a PUA. We do not host a publicly available list of miners we detect, although, we will be glad to assist you with information on any specific variant which you doubt sophos has signature for (Although, we capture a huge number of malware based on their behavior as well over traditional signature based detection).

Thank you Adithyan...this is helpful.
