I am very new to all of this. My computer knowledge is barely above a newbie.

I have tried to select the May 26, 2019 and norton freaks out and will not let me go forward at all.

Am i doing something wrong is there a new driver to download.

Please help. <massive snip>

Because cgminer is sometimes included in malware programs to mine in the background without the PC user knowing it, Norton and most AV programs erroneously tag cgminer as malware. Just tell your AV program to ignore it.

Also there is a newer version of cgminer, it was updated by Kano to run Sidehack's latest stick and improve operation of his older ones.

CGMiner Git

The master git for cgminer is https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer

CGMiner README https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/README

That includes linux compile steps, but to repeat, on linux:
Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev git

cd
git clone https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer.git
cd cgminer

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fcommon" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko --enable-icarus

make

CGMiner Windows 10 32bit binary

https://kano.is/cgminer.zip
It will probably work on older windows, but I'm only testing it on Windows 10

The instructions to compile it yourself on Windows 10 are here:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/windows-build.txt

As with all USB miners on Windows, you must install Zadig and setup the miner.
This is documented in the CGMiner README https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/README
