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.

I ran the virus checkecker that highlighted a couple of old registry entries so all in all
I'm happy with the wallet I have and the price BTG is at Smiley
