Detection and Antivirus Function Steps

1. Select the IP range, select the miner, and click “Start Scan” to scan for the miner

2. Select the miner to detect for viruses and click “Firmware Detection”. After the detection, the system will display 4 results: “Normal”, “Poisoned”, “Security Firmware”, “Not supported”:

2-1. The firmware is normal – the firmware is normal and virus-free

2-2. Firmware is poisoned – a virus is detected, and the information of the infected file is displayed in error details

2-3. Secure firmware: The port 22/SSH function is disabled on the miner, and the secure firmware prevents virus detection and removal.

2-4. Not supported: The error details include 3 types:

1) The software password and the miner backend password are both incorrect, which results in an authentication failure. You need to modify the password in “Settings”-“Basic Settings” to make the miner backend password consistent with the software password before performing virus detection.

2) SSH failed because the miner’s SSH password had been changed and port 22 was closed, which prevented the software from beginning its virus check. Recovering data from an SD card is advised.

3) {Miner type XXX minertype} Not support: Miner model is not supported, the software cannot be used for virus detection

3. Click “Firmware Antivirus”-“One-click download” to download the antivirus firmware for antivirus operations. If the user has downloaded the anti-virus firmware and needs to perform a second anti-virus process, the “One-click Download” button will not appear, and the software will directly perform anti-virus operation.

Note: If it’s the most recent version 20190918, don’t download because the firmware is already included.

4. After firmware download is completed, click “Continue Antivirus”.

5. After antivirus is completed, the system will automatically prompt “Operation Completed” – “Antivirus Succeed”.
