These programs don't run when the computer is off, and are quite easy to detect. What you really need to watch out for is RATs so people don't just steal your entire wallet, instead of them useing it to mine .00000000000000000001 of a bitcoin

They won't always be easy to detect. In fact some might eventually be completely undetectable.

Well if you don't know what your doing I guess. Nothing is completely undetectable on a computer.

It's definitely possible to make it undetectable. The only way to detect it would be to monitor the electricity usage if they really know what they are doing and even then they might keep it below a threshold to make it harder to detect. If you believe nothing is completely undetectable then you are unaware of covert channels?
