Title: m0mchil's poclbm miner flagged as malware by AVG antivirus
Post by: chungenhung on April 16, 2011, 03:35:12 AM
So I just try to run a second instance of m0mchil's poclbm miner, and AVG antivirus flagged it as malware and asked me to remove it.
I am sure the miner program is safe right?

Did you run md5 against the package to verify that you have the correct one?

Well, I downloaded from http://github.com/downloads/m0mchil/poclbm/poclbm_py2exe_20110325.7z
Been running since yesterday (no AVG warning yesterday). Today, I decide to run another instance of it, as I have two GPUs. Then I got the AVG warning.
No, I did not check the md5, as I've already extracted the 7z and thus can't check it now.
