Last updated:

If your Antminer device is suspected of being infected by a virus, several solutions are available to help clear the virus from the system.

Method 1: SD Card Recovery

SD card recovery is a basic operation skill for current miner operation & maintenance. This method is suitable for early viruses and supports single unit detection and killing. However, it can be difficult to operate.

Method 2: ANTMINER Mining Pool Batch Tool Antivirus
