The exefile was different in the virus version.
Thanks for the quick feedback!
I've read through this entire thread and no one seems to have provided any concrete proof as to whether this miner contains malicious coding so I still remain sceptical.
There's a quick question I would like to ask you given you've developed CCminer although it may be a little off topic.
I've got a pair of Compute Shader 1.1 capable cards, more precisely the 9800GTX & GTS250 and have had absolutely no luck getting them to work with a variety of algorithms via CC/CudaMiner besides Scrypt which is no longer a viable option. Upon launch, the miner will either instantly crash or provide a hashrate so low no shares are ever being submitted due to the GPU's relatively idle state. I was wondering if you can suggest a particular build of CC/Cudaminer and or algorithm which are compatible with these cards. I was forced to ultimately resort to SGminer and managed to yield a little over 600 Kh/s w/ LYRA2REv2.
Any advice you may offer is greatly appreciated.
