Avast antivirus this morning suddenly decided cgminer was malware and deleted it.
Just a heads up you might want to turn it off if you use it.
You do need to read the forum when your a noob ...
This has been discussed already and happened a few weeks back.
The problem is that the Avast AV people are morons (same for a few other AV companies) and detect the valid code of cgminer.exe rather than the actual viral code of the trojan that uses it.
Thus Avast will allow that trojan to install anything but will only intercept it if it installs cgminer.exe ... see the problem there? Smiley
