malicious software under RTG folder ??

[XOXOXOXOXOX]

I installed Malware bytes a few days ago and i started to see this message with some RTG/ nuworks casinos names.
I did not play at slotocash in ages and was away from the computer when it popped.



So why the hell miniprocess.exe is trying to start and what it does????

Malwarebytes are great! I have had this happen too. The first time I allowed MB to wipe whatever that process is though none of the RTG casinos I had installed would operate properly.

I now tell malwarebytes to ignore/skip that.

Did a further search on the directory and found a few more casinos that have it but not all.

I wonder - back in the olden days RTG used to have these mini-games that you could play, does anyone remember? You could play Aztecs Treasure and have a little popup window playing Diamond 7s or something at the same time. I always thought that particular process was a leftover from that, which as far as I know isn't used anymore.

But if you stop it from running and it breaks the casino then it must be for something else. So nevermind.

It`s what`s known as a false positive or PUP, although a lot of casino`s software includes scripting very close to certain types of browser hijackers malware, for instance those ones you uninstall and it automatically opens your browser and takes you to a `But why are you leaving us` questionnaire (oh the irony lol), others have an annoying pop up that sometimes appears with bonus offers once you have completely logged off.

A software as keen as MB will see scripting/codes that have been added to the software as a possible virus and acts accordingly, however, if you want to see false positives taken to a new level try AVG for a bit lol.
