Is this due to the type of behavior of the miners or is this an actual infection? Exercise caution.
That's a false positive. If you have this anti-virus software installed, please report it to them. They are not a top 10 vendor and basically the only ones that gives this warning. That alone should be an indication that they do it wrong.
I had to file a report to Microsoft a week ago for Windows Defender that incorrectly reported a completely non-mining related Awesome Miner file as a threat. In less than a day Microsoft analyzed the file and concluded that it was clean, and then updated their definition file for Windows Defender to correct the false positive warning. So these things happens sometimes and the only we can do is to let them analyze it and correct it.
Awesome Miner has been around for 3.5 years and is trusted by many users - so I have no intent of doing any harm.
