Hello good day ,Claymore v11.5 and phoenixminer 2.8.a users.
First, I used an online virus scanner to check the file phoenixminer 2.8.a.
The results are: 7/65 detected

which is actually an excellent result, given that the Claymore's v 11.5 miner gives 19/62 positives

And even the open-source ethminer 0.14.0.dev4 gives 10/65 positives, which is ridiculous .
