(Crypto)Miner loaded when starting A1111

Since some time now, I noticed, that when I start A1111, some miners are downloaded from somewhere and stop A1111 from starting.

Under my user name, a folder was created (.configs) and inside there will then be a file called update.py and often 2 random named folders that contain various miners and .bat files. Also a folder called “stolen_data_xxxxx” is created.

I run A1111 on master branch, it says “v1.10.1”, I have a few extensions.

I found out, that in the extension folder, there was something I didn’t install. Idk from where it came, but something called “ChingChongBot_v19” was there and caused the problem with the miners.
I deleted that extension and so far, it seems to solve the problem.

So I would suggest checking your extension folder and your user path on Windows to see if you maybe have this issue too if you experience something weird on your system.
