Good day miniZ
Trying to download v1.5q2_cuda10_win and I keep getting trojan/virus alert from Defender. Is this just defender being difficult? Do I need to exclude v1.5q2 before unzipping? I'm running 144_5 now and changing to Beam. Anyone have a suggestion on a pool? Looking at Leafpool, now
Thanks in advance for the help.
BigHarryArmsi,
Yes, you will have to exclude it from antivirus. Also, give the Sunpool.top pool a try. I have been mining there since the end of January. Great pool, no complaints. You can use a different address for each payout if you like. Just read and understand the first page and record in a safe place the private and public keys. The pool op is very active in the Beam Discord.
Thanks for the help, DanGB
Mayhaps you can lend a hand here, also? When I first d/l this new version of miniZ I got 2 Trojans. Defender repeatedly quarantined then deleted them but one is still here and will not remove?
Trojan:Win32?CoinMiner.C!.** I didn't complete it accurately here as I dunno it may cause trouble but the ? should be a / and the ** should read cl Anyone have a clue how to rid this thing? Apparently I can't update miniZ till this is gone. Win10 Defender says it is running but when I click on "actions" to "remove" nothing happens.
Thanks again for any help and Good day to all of you..
Hi BigHarryArmsi,
we checked miniZ.exe file and it seems fine. Only miniZ_gui.exe seems to be wrongly marked as infected, however we checked the file and it looks OK.
We made new Windows packages with a new miniZ_gui file. Maybe you can try the new ones and check if Defender complains less.
In any case, always confirm that the files SHA256 are the ones indicated on the website.
To exclude a file from Defender, you need to open the windows security window.
Then go to "Virus and threat protection settings" under the "Virus & threat protection" tab. And in "Exclusions" you can add or remove exclusions.
Let us know if you managed to solve the issue.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers
