Title: Re: what is conhost.exe is it spose to runing in claymore Post by: coinzoid on August 15, 2017, 08:19:36 PM comes up on my comodo firewall when i launch the start.bat file When you start mining software using *.bat file for the first time, firewall should interact with user. It has happened to me with Windows Firewall and I needed to whitelist claymore folder in order to start mining successfully. As a Microsoft Administrator I can say conhost.exe is actually the name for Console Host Applications. Claymore miner is a console application so it is pretty normal it uses this name on Task Manager. Comodo is a good firewall but I don't think it is the best one.

It really doesn't have anything to do specifically with mining software whatever, the fact is that anytime you're using a batch file you are going to probably see that somewhere in your services or tasks or being run. That is the console, or what some people call the terminal. It is simply the way that the majority of the mining software initiates itself, if you open up the batch file with a text editor, you can see the lines that are being run.

Now, that doesn't mean one hundred percent that everything is the way it should be. A background task could be a virus.

If it does not then you may have not completely shut down in Miner or it may be from a totally unrelated piece of software that could be a virus.
