Win32/Coinminer is virus?
My windows defender reported that this was harmful, googling it lead to sites saying it steals the wallet.
Now is this something to worry about? I have removed it when the window popped up.

Using 3 cards with Win7, there are times that the cards stop mining and everything on the desktop disappear except the background. Tried disabling the OC of the cards but the problem remained.
Went back to 2.3.6 and been running 3 days now without hiccups, except for a slight increase in stales.

read me said the readme so It is then false alarm then? Didn't see anything about Win32/Coinminer but this I found in readme: "Q: Is this a virus? A: Cgminer is being packaged with other trojan scripts and some antivirus software is falsely accusing cgminer.exe as being the actual virus, rather than whatever it is being packaged with. If you installed cgminer yourself, then you do not have a virus on your computer. Complain to your antivirus software company."

Try reducing the hash rate of the main card (the card connected to the display, usually the one closest to the CPU).

Yes as long as you downloaded it from the link in the first post of this thread, you are safe. You should be able to make an exception for it in your AV software.

Is there a notification list we can subscribe to that will send e-mail notifications when new releases of cgminer are made available?

Try reducing the hash rate of the main card (the card connected to the display, usually the one closest to the CPU). Already tried that. With 2.4.1, the problem persist even if I run the primary card at default core clock. With 2.3.6, all 3 6870s at 960 core work for days without problems.

Another this I've noticed: When you change the priority of a pool to the top (via the API) and you save the config file, the order of the pools in the config file remains unchanged from is original. Maybe this should change to match the current priority order?
I've implemented this and put in a pull request for it. A quick look at the code suggests that if the primary pool goes down and the next back up comes on, the priority doesn't change. Just the index is incremented.

I have a strange issue with cgminer... After a day or two of work hash rate starts to slowly drop from usual 440 Mhash/s and reaches 340 Mhash/s within 30-40 minutes where it stops. Restarting cgminer brings hashrate back to usual values. Any ideas why this happens?
Does the utility drop too? Sam The script restarts cgminer right away, so it don't have chance to drop, but p2pool also sees the drop in hash rate, so I guess - yes. At a guess ... 12.4 is your problem ... since I heard it would often just pack up and die for no reason with cgminer. Had same issue with 12.3. I had similar issue with DiabloMiner, but in that case hash rate was dropping below 150. I also think it's a driver issue. I'll try older versions to see if that helps.

Could somebody help me with an issue I'm having using any miner (cgminer included)? My cards are only using 50% of their power constantly, as shown on the screenies below: Any idea why this is happening? My system: - 2x 5970 - Ubuntu 11.04 - AMD SDK 2.4

My cards are only using 50% of their CPU constantly, as shown on the screenies below:
Are you purposely running your intensity that low? Are all of your GPU's running displays? Do you use your system while mining or is this dedicated? I would suggest only using one display and setting the intensity for that GPU to dynamic if being used or 7 if it is dedicated. Then the GPU's that aren't driving displays set the intensities to 8 or 9 and then tinker around a bit for best performance. But that's me, Sam

But that's me, Sam No, I'm not doing this purposely, that's why I'm asking . I don't run anything on this rig, it's a pure miner. Only one display is connected. How do I set intensity of mining though?

Ok, I was being stupid. I figured it out, setting intensity to 14 solved the problem .

Another case of one of my BFL's dropping off when throttling. CGminer sees it as still alive, but the temp and 5s hash rate remains static and the overall hash and util drops. Disabling/re-enabling does nothing.
Poopy. Wish I had the time to decipher the BFL code.

This morning I had another case of cgminer freezing on me. The screen displayed that pool wasn't responding fast enough and was switching to pool 1 (local). The time stamps on the screen was 6 hours prior to the current time. The screen had stopped updating, as well, as the GPU temperature was wrong, as closing cgminer and re-opening it proved.

I mine at Kano's Pool because it pays the best and is completely transparent! Come join me!

Using Linux here and never had any of the issues you guys are reporting.
Windows is the root cause of your problems, I suspect.
When is BSOD who are you going to blame ? cgminer as well ? Haha !

1.) Work on your grammar 2.) The BSoD's are Error code screens that tells you whats wrong so you can fix your machine, but if your an idiot, Then a Blue Screen of DEATH is all you think. 3.) "windows is the problem" Is a sterotypical answer from someone whom as a kid, ran windows, Got Owned, Repeatedly, And gave up. Now i remember why you have such a heavy Ignore colour. You Troll, And scam. I mean really, What is the point of your post? Your bashing windows in a Mining Software thread. Get a fucking life.
