I just got my first miner today and I have spent last few hours with NO RESULTS I got a Virus warning from AVG when I opened BFGMINER from this thread a Malware Gen it says I attached s screen capture...
below is my batch file and I keep getting host unresolved error even when I run the test bat that came with the program the Start_Moonlander2 gives same host unresolved. I cut and paste my pool address and bat file was created by their config generator on their site so I don't see why I get these errors here is my info:
user is rwg4th miner is Mack and his password is jingle all in the bat file below... where am I going wrong? and is that really a virus or is it false positive? I can't attach image it seems but I'll upload it somewhere if you want or just scan bfgminer with AVG and you will see its got a Win64 malware gen virus

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7915 -u rwg4th.Mack -p jingle

and again I tried to mine NYC Coin which is also a scrypt and I mine there using CPU already so I know this address is good but still I get "Unresolved host" error

bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu1.altminer.net:3433 -u RQkUXUFfDHR9u8wxG9vRjwyhq8YvzmuXQT -p c=NYC

where username is wallet address and password is NYC for new york coin this works fine in CPUMiner with same address so unresolved doesn't make sense maybe the card is defective? the driver loaded ok and its shown in printers and devices with no exclamation mark looks ok there can't find where it went in device manager I saw it when drivers weren't all in yet and after I updated drivers it disappeared and I opened all groups but didn't see it anywhere (which group should it be in?)

it will be a false positive. most virus scanners flag up mining software as malware.
host unresolved would normally mean your mining pool is type the pool and port into your browser to check that.
Add pause to the end of your bat file, then it will not close automatically in the event of an error
maybe an error with your mining pool settings i suspect or antivirus blocking bfgminer. you can disable the virus scanner and try again
