why does your miner come as a virus and why does using it unleash a coinmer virus , i wonder what else phoenix miner dows while using it , probably scans your drives hoping for wallets to hack , how many people lost crypto if they had a wallet on the same system as mining i wonder , lets do a poll. if it comes up as a virus in the new version nobody should use it.

There are a number of viruses/malware that use mining engines.   The idea is to infect as many computers as possible and then use them to mine for the author of the virus/malware.   As a result, most legit miners are picked up as a "virus", because they don't know what is intentional mining and what is an infection.
