How to solve the problem with an error? Did you manage to decide?
ANTI-VIRUS FALSE WARNING:
If you are running this intentionally, then you are SAFE. Often, virus scanners flag mining software as malicious since attackers often install this software on other users' computers without them knowing. The anti-virus companies are correctly protecting you from this, but you are choosing to mine Electroneum, which is perfectly SAFE.
You might need to add an anti virus exception to the minerd.exe file that this program uses.

Yeah, they raised 40M and they cannot even make damn online wallet to store your ETN Huh Huh only a paper wallet, also the Telegram chat is a mess. No support at all, and no admins. A shame.
Electroneum Team do something about it please.

I think that Electroneum team must do something to solve this problem.
$40M reached, and they distribute a suspicious software? It's not good.

I am sorry, I do not have the answer - but I am keen to find out the answer. The only ETN being sold on cryptopia right now is the mined ETN, and it is going for a high price. I was hesitant to install the mining s/w anyway, but then when google/MS warned me not to, then you post the above, now I am very hesitant!....

Hi guys!
Electroneum started mining.
I'd like to know if their Beginner's Pool Mining Software (https://downloads.electroneum.com/) is safe, because Chrome and some antivirus block it.

They know the problem and they have wrote following message on their website:
"ANTI-VIRUS FALSE WARNING:
Often, virus scanners flag mining software as malicious since attackers often install this software on other users' computers without them knowing. The anti-virus companies are correctly protecting you from this, but you are choosing to mine Electroneum, which is perfectly SAFE
".

I uploaded it on virustotal, and resuts are:
Code:
Detection ratio: 5/67 

Baidu - Win32.Trojan.WisdomEyes.16070401.9500.9991
eGambit - Unsafe.AI_Score_99%
NANO-Antivirus - Trojan.Win32.KeyLogger.ertsva
TrendMicro-HouseCall - Suspicious_GEN.F47V1101
Webroot - W32.Adware.Gen

Has anyone analyzed the software?
What's your opinion?
