Windows gives many security warnings after downloading latest version PhoenixMiner_6.2c_Windows from first side in this thread.
is this normal behaviour?
Hello. I'm having a problem. I downloaded Phoenix 6.2c for Windows as i always do from the link in the first page of this thread, and the trojan AndroidOs/multiverze infected my computer. I think it is some kind of ransomware. After i rebooted My PC i couldnt even log in.
Well you didnt get it from the official site (the virus). The files are clean … you can check them.
You can read here but most likely you opened an infected email as it is how it spreads most commonly.
Here is info on it and how to get rid of it.

I downloaded the miner for Windows from the link in the OP, as you yourself suggested. I see the same "Tool:AndroidOS/Multiverze" warning in Windows Defender as multiple people mentioned in this thread. It is clearly coming from PhoenixMiner.exe.
Good security means questioning what you see. A good download one day can be switched out for malware the next. You shouldn't be so condescending to people trying to practice good security.
Sure it may be a known false positive warning, but it wasn't listed in the OP and it obviously wasn't known to you.
Oh look another brand new register with zero merit and 1 post claiming hes being maligned but the truth is PM is safe always has been … ive run it for years….no issue. You should read the almost 500 pages of this thread and understand PM has been attacked and maligned many times by the likes of you and never has it proved out true. Maybe read more type less…until you have something helpful to add. The person you are defending d/l the virus from either a bad link (not from OP) or from another source. PM has made far more coin with the % from miners than would be gained by compromising some low post count miners computer.
