I am getting security warnings from Avast antivirus that is preventing me from accessing just the website on one of my non-mining machines... Anyone else running into this? If is turn off 'Network Shield' I can access it... Problem is, there is no exclusion table for the Network Shield so I can whitelist ozcoin....

Here is the 'More Info' from Avast:

everyone using avast is running into this, sorry I guess I should have posted sooner, I emailed avast about the false positive (as have a few other miners), but have had no response

somehow they think we are serving up "poclbm" from our mining nodes - as miners would be aware we serve getworks to the poclbm or other mining software you installed on your machine Smiley

false positives will be a way of life for a long time, most mining software has been flagged as virus at some stage because it is included in trojan droppers - guilt by association :/
