Hi ya'll, I downloaded this: http://guiminer.org/guiminer-scrypt.html and I uploaded it to "Virus Total" and 19 anti-virus programs flagged it as malware, is it safe?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Most miners are detected as viruses as some malware forces your computer to mine, sending the BTC to the malware creator. The miner IS safe assuming you downloaded it onto your own computer.
