I NiceHach is not the first year and never had a problem with viruses. Your antivirus reacts to the program because it has no signature, and makes changes to your computer. The site says about it. When installing, it is recommended to disable antivirus.

Like NiceHas Miner does not have a virus, but if you download from a different site, it might just have a virus or something like that, but if you download it from its original site it probably does not have a virus

That's what I think  Grin

You can get about 30% more hash rate by going with your own miners and they really aren't that hard to set up. At that being said, I think some mining software comes up with double negatives and there isn't actually any malware in the software. I've used nicehash before and I have never lost any of the coins ive stored on the same computer or had any malware that i've detected.

A lot of virus checkers will give false positives on a LOT of software.
If you download Nicehash from their own website, it should be fine - if you get a version somewhere else, it COULD be virus or Trojan infected.

Folks... Please try using a Google search first. As in "nicehash virus".
There is tons about this there and as long as you are the one who downloaded it this is a false-alarm. CGminer and BFGminer is sometimes flagged as well. No need to clutter the Forum with the same question over and over again. AV software does not like it because some malware will load and use it in the background however, the code itself is safe. As long as you are the one who downloaded it from the legit website that is...

Some anti-viruses may be mining software sensitive. I used NiceHash for a few weeks without any problem. If I were you, I would just ignore it.

As i understand, you confirm that NiceHach is a good running platform without issues?
I would like to know more about your experience investing your money in new platforms.
I found no trusted feedback about NiceHash.

The virus it found is Miner virus. It is because of some silent miner viruses. If you are sure that it mines just for you, you can use it.
