Title: NiceHash Miner Virus??? Post by: Fabian86 on August 08, 2017, 07:44:42 AM Hello, is the NiceHash Miner from https://miner.nicehash.com/ a Virus?
Kaspersky say yes... what i do??? Title: Re: NiceHash Miner Virus??? Post by: efeaydin on August 08, 2017, 06:23:33 PM The virus it found is Miner virus. It is because of some silent miner viruses. If you are sure that it mines just for you, you can use it.

Post by: coupable on August 18, 2017, 04:55:27 AM Some anti-viruses may be mining software sensitive. I used NiceHash for a few weeks without any problem. If I were you, I would just ignore it. As i understand, you confirm that NiceHach is a good running platform without issues? I would like to know more about your experience investing your money in new platforms. I found no trusted feedback about NiceHash. Title: Re: NiceHash Miner Virus??? Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on August 18, 2017, 06:17:20 PM Folks... Please try using a Google search first. As in "nicehash virus".
There is tons about this there and as long as you are the one who downloaded it this is a false-alarm. CGminer and BFGminer is sometimes flagged as well. No need to clutter the Forum with the same question over and over again. AV software does not like it because some malware will load and use it in the background however, the code itself is safe. As long as you are the one who downloaded it from the legit website that is... Title: Re: NiceHash Miner Virus???

If you download Nicehash from their own website, it should be fine - if you get a version somewhere else, it COULD be virus or Trojan infected. Title: Re: NiceHash Miner Virus???

At that being said, I think some mining software comes up with double negatives and there isn't actually any malware in the software. I've used nicehash before and I have never lost any of the coins ive stored on the same computer or had any malware that i've detected.
Title: Re: NiceHash Miner Virus??? Post by: FLY7 on September 22, 2017, 12:55:38 PM Like NiceHas Miner does not have a virus, but if you download from a different site, it might just have a virus or something like that, but if you download it from its original site it probably does not have a virus
That's what I think ;D Title: Re: NiceHash Miner Virus??? Post by: Proton2233 on September 24, 2017, 02:27:41 PM I NiceHach is not the first year and never had a problem with viruses. Your antivirus reacts to the program because it has no signature, and makes changes to your computer. The site says about it. When installing, it is recommended to disable antivirus.
