I downloaded the latest version and Avast detects cudamine.exe as having win32:Malware-gen in it.

OP has some explaining to do... Why does a miner need a trojan attached to it???

"Win32 Malware gen is a malicious computer virus. It can cause system instability. It can come with a bundle of adware and malware. It can also disable antivirus security features."

Most if not ALL antivirus / antimalware suites will detect miners as a virus.  I had to create some exceptions using avast.
