CPU miner from first post = download is virus chrome wont let you download it trojan coinminer !

No, it is not a trojan. It is a known false positive that miners have and chrome always blocks those. Check with virustotal and you can use IE to download it.


well well.................... even iexplorer see it as a trojan   :  BAD/coinminer.FDtrojan so Huh !!!

There are botnets out there which use the different mining executables as payload to mine coins for the botnet's owner/renter on other people's computers...that's why those executables are flagged by the virus scanners.
But if you don't trust that miner you have the option to download the official source code https://github.com/ig0tik3d/xcoin-cpuminer, and build the executables yourself.
