I don't think cgminer has any trojans (if it's the real copy) ,it uses your hardware and since allot of  new malware's use bitcoin mining.  the codes are suspected.

I guess that you 've downloaded it from it's original source right? If so then it's a false alarm.
Personally i haven't had any problems with cgminer and avast although i 'm running an older version.

If you are new with mining you should check out GUIMiner. It includes CGMiner and many other miners, but it is a lot easier to set up since it comes with a GUI.

False positive. Many trojans include mining software to use its hosts hardware. If you downloaded it from the official github repository of course!
