What is IMG001.exe?


The IMG001.exe is a setup application that uses the NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) installer. However, it is detected as a Threats.Multiple.Installer by the Reason Core Security and detected as Could be a Trojan horse BitCoin by AVG. This file is tested and considered as unwanted and even malicious because it will mine for BitCoins using the computer's GPU in the background and may be installed and run without the user's knowledge.
