I got hit by a similar exploit for WinRAR, it was a very sneaky XMR miner that took over mg whole system and would push the CPU to the max or mine XMR.

I was only able to get rid of it via safe made and luck (I was able to find a removal tool via a non-english forum, I suspect they dlacoid targeting US and EU).
