Norton Internet Security's false positive. Tnx dmn trojan programers!

[PLaci1982]

With the latest virus definitions NIS 2011 will detect an older version Ufasoft miner's bitcoin-miner.exe as Trojan.Gen (generic trojan)...
(I dl'ed it packed with GUI miner 20110614 and 20110701)

The current version are also marked "possibly bad" within Norton File Insight...

The miner itself is not a virus. Norton flagged it because the miner is being used as part of an IRC-based trojan to steal your computer's resources and make the hacker some coins at your expense.

That's why I told it's a false positive. This script kiddies irritate me.
(A real pr0 could write it's own miner....)

norton?

well, that's your problem.
i'd rather not using anything than using norton, lol.

Comodo firewall on my system is also reporting this as well (huh I thought a firewall is just a firewall but it behaves like AV as well)

ufasoft.exe.It loads a cmd prompt then quickly closes without doing nything and then Comodo reports that it has a trojan.

It's a commandline tool. Add it to your exception list and try starting it with a -? or -h or -help parameter.

You could try to pack the exe file with UPX. Most antivirus programs are so stupid that they can't recognize the program after packing.
