Anyone know why the Windows wallet keeps getting blocked by Malwarbytes, is there a work around for this?  



are you using this one https://bitcoingold.org/#features?

Yep that is the one.

Why would they release a wallet without first checking its virus status.   Dumb.  

i think they are false positive i see them many times in many wallet

I downloaded the exe, virus checked it (mcafee) ran it then virus checked the qt exe with no problems found.
Sync'ed the wallet then imported my BTC private key from a now empty BTC address. Once in the wallet, moved
the BTG to a fresh BTG address.

Subsequently sent a few to Bittrex, no problems experienced.


Did you scan it with Malwarbytes?

It has a coin miner in it, and I am pretty sure it is not used for staking purposes.  

The name of the coin miner is riskware.bitcoinminer and it is a trojan.

This is normal it is not mining though but used for mining how do you think all the miners connect to the network to do the mining this software is also used as the backend for pools etc to get work and submit work from the miners it's not just a wallet it's a full node
