Title: AVG Free suddenly doesn't like cgminer Post by: belcat on April 12, 2013, 03:08:39 AM I installed cgminer a few days ago, and it worked fine. I rebooted and suddenly it would startup and then hang. It seems completely disabling AVG Free makes it work fine again; I can toggle it on and off and cgminer starts and stops at the same time (with a small delay, I think AVG is blocking some of the networking). Nothing else seems to work - I tried disabling just the antivirus or rootkit, or just the Windows Firewall, but nothing else worked. I tried adding an exception for the cgminer directory but didn't work.
I don't have AVG Firewall; this does not come with AVG Free. Any ideas how to fix it?

Not until I turned off the web blocker did it work again.

I'd guess it is because mining programs have been built into viruses before... so block ALL the things Title: Re: AVG Free suddenly doesn't like cgminer Post by: Epics on April 12, 2013, 04:22:12 AM Why bother with AVG? Just use windows security.
