This mining software is recognized as malicious software by 21 / 55 scanners on virus total.
See yourself: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/db29e13a8e15292612247def55718eb05c836b646a5781033286544cf4720e0b/analysis/

What do you say, does it cointain a Trojan.Generic.14786865 or not?


Hi!

This is very interesting. I scanned the ZIP at VirusTotal before releasing it and there was just 2 detections:

3 weeks have passed, file has not changed (you can see it by the matching hash). But now there are 21 detections:

The new detections are by some unknown anitvirus software and are unspecific. Well known software detects a bitcoin miner, and that is expected.

EXE was prepared on a special build machine, so having a virus there is very unlikely.
The miner is open source, so you can compile it from github yourself to be 100% sure.

Thanks
