Topic: AVG Free suddenly doesn't like cgminer (Read 1938 times)
Why bother with AVG? Just use windows security.
last time downloaded cgminer chrome blocked the download as malicious, I found that kinda cute
I'd guess it is because mining programs have been built into viruses before... so block ALL the things

This probably isn't your problem, but my BitDefender blocked the website of a pool I was mining at and likewise blocked the ports from my miners. Not until I turned off the web blocker did it work again.
I installed cgminer a few days ago, and it worked fine. I rebooted and suddenly it would startup and then hang. It seems completely disabling AVG Free makes it work fine again; I can toggle it on and off and cgminer starts and stops at the same time (with a small delay, I think AVG is blocking some of the networking). Nothing else seems to work - I tried disabling just the antivirus or rootkit, or just the Windows Firewall, but nothing else worked. I tried adding an exception for the cgminer directory but didn't work.
I don't have AVG Firewall; this does not come with AVG Free. Any ideas how to fix it?
