virus total stats for the miner posted above. carefull people. i dont know if that miner is legit or a virus, im not gona try it
cannot be totally sure. I am using self-compiled Linux executable. I run my compiled version through VirusTotal and got only 5 positives, solely related to "traditional" miner warnings:
AVG Linux/Miner 20161123
Avast ELF:BitCoinMiner-A [Trj] 20161123
ESET-NOD32 a variant of Linux/BitCoinMiner.L potentially unsafe 20161123
Ikarus PUA.Linux.Miner 20161123
Qihoo-360 virus.elf.bitcointool.a 20161123
So at least Linux version compiled from source does not have that Heur2 warning.
In any case, I wouldn't install this on my main PC. As for dedicated disposable mining setups without important data... why not?
P.S. You could probably ask
barrysty1e (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/barrysty1e-526220) to share his binary. His published Windos64 version was ignored by some reason (not clear to me), so he pulled that down. But he might want to give it to you, at least to compare the VirusTotal results to the version you have now.
