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.

      Torrent galaxy rune release. However not seeing any issues? Malwarebytes scans coming up clean. No integritycheck folder in app data. No hidden process running when game running. 🤷‍♂️?

      More than likely a false positive- they often show up as Trojans due to the payload. I saw a similar issue from the rune release off of my private tracker.
