Virus Total detects Trojans in the miners linked in this thread. Is this coin safe to mine?

I know a low of virus detection software will alarm for any sort of Miner, but a few say Trojan and you can't be too careful these days.  The sgminer-polytimus in the main post gives a pretty high number of detections

This is bunch of detection over same non-issue. All miners are potentially "viruses" and why I do not run AV. Just be smart, and you are fine.
Have been running this wallet since the day it came out and have had no issues what so ever or warnings that looked any different from other wallets that are safe to use.
