The Conimx.exe miner is the type of malware that infects via an intermediary infection object, like a file or a web link posted online. Such objects may also be sent to you via chats or pretend to be legitimate type of programs, like the following:
Fake setups of games and other software.

Conimx.exe Miner Virus – More Information
When your computer becomes compromised with the Conimx.exe miner virus, it immediately becomes evident, because the malware may begin to overheat your CPU and GPU components. This results in the fan of your computer to begin to generate noise, and it is the biggest symptom that you have this malware on your PC. The main activity of Conimx.exe after being dropped on your computer is to connect your PC to a mining pool. If your PC is connected to such a mining pool, this results in it becoming one of many computers that are linked to the same account, belonging to the cyber-criminal who is behind the Conimx.exe miner virus. When the hashing power (mining power) of all the infected computer is combined, the cyber-criminal may make a lot of digital money in a matter of days from infected computers, as long as they are many, but cannot generate as many tokens only from your system, even if it has a powerful GPU. This is why most cyber-crooks tend to target powerful computers more than average ones. The mining process may not be physically dangerous for your GPU and CPU, but if the malware remains for longer periods of time, like months, you risk damaging your components due to overheating them.
In addition to mining for cryptocurrencies, the Conimx.exe is malware and like any other Trojan it may perform other malicious activities on your computer, starting with escalating it’s privileges and modifying the following Windows Registry sub-keys in order to run automatically when Windows boots up:

Steal important files.
Infect your computer with other viruses.
Collect your login details for important websites, like PayPal, Facebook, e-mail account, etc./span>
Collect the keys typed by you on your keyboard to figure out your passwords.

Step 5 (Optional): Try to Restore Files Encrypted by Conimx.exe Miner Malware.
Ransomware infections and Conimx.exe Miner Malware aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.
Method 1: Scanning your drive’s sectors by using Data Recovery software. Another method for restoring your files is by trying to bring back your files via data recovery software. Here are some suggestions for preferred data recovery software solutions:
Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors. If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:
To restore your data in case you have backup set up, it is important to check for Volume Shadow Copies, if ransomware has not deleted them, in Windows using the below software:
Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.
Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
