Hi all

recently I upgraded my Kaspersky to Pure 3.0 and now suddenly when I run BFGminer.exe I can get to the mining.bitcoin.cz website and enter my worker and then my password but whereas before I would see line after line of calculations, I now see nothing. This has been happening for about two days. Any idea what is going on? Is it the Kaspersky? Is it something else? Please advise and thanks.

Hi all

recently I upgraded my Kaspersky to Pure 3.0 and now suddenly when I run BFGminer.exe I can get to the mining.bitcoin.cz website and enter my worker and then my password but whereas before I would see line after line of calculations, I now see nothing. This has been happening for about two days. Any idea what is going on? Is it the Kaspersky? Is it something else? Please advise and thanks.
 

so why just not uninstall Kaspersky and see how will it work??

That would be the easiest method to fix the problem, isn't?

Smiley And I must ask - are you a brand new user and you registered just to ask about this?

Please post a screenshot. Also, it's probably because kapersky incorrectly flagged bfgminer as a virus.

Agreed; it would be safer to specifically whitelist bfgminer within kaspersky than to uninstall it, but both should work. Most AV software flags miners now, since a lot of botnets employ them in some way.

Also, if you're mining on GPU or CPU, it uses 100% of it, and some viruses do that, so your AV might flag it incorrectly.

You will notice Kaspersky is often free after rebate..... personally i think there is a reason for this.
