Antivirus programs tend to regard programs that uses PC resources as virus, so miners are caught as virus.
It is considered safe which miner is used by many people or source is open, but you should download on its official link.

I get the same when I use minergate. Make sure you ONLY use miners from trusted sources that are known to be virus free regardless of what the AV says.

It's false positive. The reason antivirus warn about them is that some of the crackers group embed miners in their cracks.
People download pirated games or apps and install these miners without their knowledge.
So antivirus company's decided to mark them as virus/malware to warn people.

Also you have to always be careful from where you download your miners, because inside there can be a real virus.
