I added both folders to exclusion list and it still gives me the same error and the same "trojan" shows up in defender. What's coinminer!bit ? I never had this problem before and I've been using awesomeminer for a long time.
exclude the folders under AppData/Roaming as well. also delete the claymore miner zip file so it redownloads...sometimes intervention from AV means corrupted download and AM can happen to not know and trying to open corrupt zip file.
