Recheck task manager to confirm no more Andy services are running.

Click once on the folder named ' AndyOS' and then press Shift+Delete.

Click once on the folder named ' Updater' and then press Shift+Delete.

Right click ' Updater.exe' in details and click ' End process tree'.

Right click that process and click ' Go to details'.

Look for a process named ' Updater' (This is the miner and surprisingly enough won't be uninstalled when you uninstall Andy! Would you believe it!).

Close every Andy-related process via task manager.

The miner doesn't even attempt to hide itself and doesn't have a specific payload so it's just always running. Removing Andy and the bitcoin miner is actually really easy. The video shows that I downloaded every single executable possible from their official website and I was served the same installer each time. Apparently giving them virustotal scans and screenshots are not enough evidence and some users in the Andy support Facebook group blindly tried accusing me and my friends of using a tampered installer. This was sent directly to the creators of Andy (which is who I'm referencing in the video), as they refused to believe that the bitcoin miner was anything to do with installing their software. I created a video showcasing the entire installation process, including GPU usage before and after Andy was installed. After further inspection I noticed that this installed along with Andy. I opened task manager and sorted it via what was using the most GPU power and found a process named 'updater.exe'. I checked my GPU usage and temps and noticed they were working at roughly 80% load and 80+ degrees C whilst gaming. I noticed that in every single game I played I suffered major FPS drops at seemingly random times. I finished up what I was doing, closed Andy and opened some games. I downloaded Andy, installed it (I declined the offer relating to Yahoo), and began using it. I'd used Bluestacks previously but I was looking for a different emulator just to try something new. I saw Andy was on this list and it was described as a big competitor to the likes of Bluestacks.

I was searching for an Android Emulator and came across an Android Authority list of the 15 best Android emulators for PC (now 14 after I contacted the writer of the article with evidence). Funnily enough, the owners of Andy and the admins in the Andy support Facebook group actually recommend turning off your antivirus whilst installing.Īll evidence provided on this post is true with version 'Andy_Nougat_260_1096_26' (latest release available from the official Andy website). The installer Andy uses drops a cryptocurrency miner on your system and it has been reported in the past but no effort has been taken to cut ties with the company that created the installer. I'm not trying to directly accuse Andy of being at fault here but until an official statement is made from the Andy team I'm going to tell it how it is, and how the majority of people will see this situation. Please keep in mind that this may not directly be Andy's fault. The fact that they've completely blocked me from contacting them and the removal of all of my posts to them suggests that they don't care and don't want anyone to know. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if this is completely down to their doing. Andy itself calls an IP which then transfers the bitcoin miner to your system.Īndy clearly have no interest in fixing this issue and they're doing their best to censor it. By the looks of things, the installer isn't at fault. After seeing that comment, and probably after seeing this reddit thread they've removed me from the group.Ī friend opened Andy in process explorer to see the files it drops upon installation.

MAJOR UPDATE: I asked the Andy staff why they're still serving the infected file. I used cryptocurrency when talking to people in the Andy support group and they got confused and thought I was talking out my arse. I use the term bitcoin in this thread and the video as it's almost become a generic trademark. The mining process runs even with Andy closed and it opens on startup. Luckily I have a fair few sleeper accounts in that group and I'll report back with anything worth noting.Ĭlarification: In the video I fail to close Andy when checking my GPU stats but I can confirm that they are roughly the same as when Andy is open. Update: Their Facebook support group has been changed to a closed group meaning you can't view their posts if you're not already a member.
