    Vnlgp Miner is a potentially unwanted program that uses your computer's graphics card to mine digital currency without your permission. When installed, this PUP installs a miner called vnlgp.exe, which is a renamed copy of sgminer. When started, vnlgp.exe will mine the Decred cryptocoin by using 70% of the processing power of your graphics card. While running, your computer will be added to mining pool on poolminers.net using the username miner in order to mine the Decred digital currency.
    What makes this PUP even more concerning is that this program will use your graphics card all the time. This causes your computer to consume extra electricity, generate unnecessary heat, and could potentially damage your hardware due to its constant utilization. It's fine if you are choosing to use your computer to make revenue for yourself, but for another program to do it on your computer without your permission is the same thing as stealing from you.
    When being installed, this PUP will also check to see if you have certain antivirus or antimalware programs installed. If it detects any of the following programs it will abort the installation:
    Looks for AVG, Avast, DrWeb, IKARUS, K7 Antivirus 7.0, Malwarebytes, McAfee, Symantec Endpoint Protection, VIPRE Antivirus, VIPRE Internet Security, FortiClient, gData, Panda, Filseclab Twister Antivirus, Avira, Nano, Baidu, TrendMicro
    It is important to note that Vnlgp Miner is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
    Without a doubt, Vnlgp Miner is a program that uses your computer's resources for someone elses benefit. It is strongly advised that you remove this PUP and any related adware by using the removal guide below.
