is it even safe to use this miner ?
it was suggested on
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2105778.2360
but when i tried. v0.0.12-ALPHA
https://www.virustotal.com/ru/file/2d7037fa862e0449f9ac8479faf2f15f77b7f1ecc4e0af3c3f6a781ce5844a5b/analysis/1508193987/
and it acted very strange ... almost (?) escaped sandboxie (one of windows had no yellow borders).....
it created something like "svchost.exe.exe" (very suspicious name for file!!)
and was stopped by avira. (was hard to turn it off completely).
also my avira antivirus got strangely disabled after using it. it was running but there was button to "install it" when i clicked to check quarantine.
i mean i got this instantly after running this miner in sandbox
"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\DwiDesk\svchost.exe.exe"
really suspicious name guys....
