What is stij.exe?

stij.exe is digitally signed by Perion Network Ltd. which means that you probably installed one of their products, for instance MyStart by Incredibar or Incredimail. Even if you didn't, it might have come bundled with adware that drops this file on your computer during the installation process. Later this file may be used to download and install additional adware/spyware onto your computer without your knowledge and permission. The file runs automatically every time Windows starts. It even creates a separate Windows service. Needless to say, it's not essential for Windows and may cause problems. Not to mention annoying and intrusive ads. stij.exe may also cause your computer to lag out. Some antivirus products detect this application as InstallBrain adware, PUP.InstallBrain others simply flag it as generic Trojan horse. I recommend you to remove stij.exe from your computer.

What is wscript.exe?

wscript.exe is a Windows service that allows you to execute VBScript files. Normally, it is not dangerous, but if a malicious script is downloaded and executed it will appear as if wscript.exe is the culprit, when it is really a separate .vbs file. Antivirus programs usually detect C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe as the culprit, however, it's not necessarily infected. It may be that your computer is infected with Worms and Trojans that attempt to execute malicious .vbs scripts. Most users, get these malware infections from SD cards, pen drives and of course infected websites.

What is minerd.exe?

minerd.exe is a part of multi-threaded CPU miner for Bitcoin crypto-currency system. Very often this application causes CPU usage to go to 90% or even more. Needles to say it's not essential for Windows and may cause problems. If you knowingly installed this Bitcoin miner on your computer then there's nothing to worry about. Even if you antivirus says it's a trojan horse it's probably a false positive. However, cyber crooks and fraudsters are using this software to earn some extra money as well by monetizing botnets. They drop the main mining modules on infected computers and start mining. They usually set low mining speed, so that the minerd.exe process only uses unused CPU cycles. But others don't. Infected users quickly notice that their computers became very slow. This is a sign that your computer is infected and not only with RiskTool.Win32.BitCoinMiner or PUP.BitCoinMiner but also with Trojan downloaders and spyware. I recommend you to remove minerd.exe from your computer.
