Title: Win 10 weirdness - MS defender NOW deciding Claymore 9.3 is a virus Post by: 64dimensions on June 13, 2017, 02:48:19 PM Started with the 1st eth rig after 2 or 3 months operation.
Title: Re: Win 10 weirdness - MS defender NOW deciding Claymore 9.3 is a virus Post by: fanatic26 on June 13, 2017, 03:35:12 PM I had a similar thing happen with my ZEC miner. One day the exe was just randomly removed by windows defender and I had to remove it from quarantine and set it as an exception.

Title: Re: Win 10 weirdness - MS defender NOW deciding Claymore 9.3 is a virus Post by: jwarren81 on June 13, 2017, 04:54:20 PM Create a folder C:\Miners and add the folder to the exceptions for Windows Defender. Anything you put in there will not be removed. This should be one of the first things you do when setting up a new miner. Never have to deal with it again after that.

Title: Re: Win 10 weirdness - MS defender NOW deciding Claymore 9.3 is a virus Post by: jwarren81 on June 13, 2017, 11:16:01 PM You will have the same problem eventually. Regardless what AV you use, put in an exception so you don't have to deal with it. It's not difficult and has nothing to do with Windows Defender being proper or not. Its all I've used for years without issue.
Not getting viruses and malware has more to do with the user than anything. Don't go to shady sites and download untrusted crapware. Disable MS defender and install a proper AV, problem solved.

You can disable Windows Defender through Local Group Policy Editor or Registry Editor Method mentioned on this website http://www.howali.com/2017/04/disable-turn-off-windows-defender-in-windows-10-8-7.html Regards, Tony John |
