The maker of Malwarebytes is reporting that the software updating site, MacUpdate, is unwittingly distributing software that contains a virus designed to use your Mac's CPU to mine for cryptocurrency.
Fortunately the free version of Malwarebytes can detect and remove this virus.
I've seen things I suspect of doing that popping up infrequently at random places. I'll visit a website and while the page is up I'll hear my laptop's fans start spinning up. Open activity monitor and find some web process running lots of CPU.
