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 downloaded the RUNE release from TorrentLeech and Windows Defender found a trojan so yeah I'll believe it. I guess I'll wait for a FitGirls repack.

I've had false positives from cracks on TL before, several times. I respect your carefulness with a known problem with another release, though.
