It looks like a bitcoin miner was included in the installer, and the admins on 1337x may or may not give a shit apparently. Scanned my pc and my wifes and found the same stuff the others mentioned.

According to the other comments, don’t feel the need to uninstall as the miner was installed separate to the game, just give a Malwarebytes scan to get rid of the junk.

      I mean, it’s an mtx-free, drm-free, full feature game. If BG3 isn’t worth paying for, I don’t know what is.
