Comodo firewall on my system is also reporting this as well (huh I thought a firewall is just a firewall but it behaves like AV as well)

ufasoft.exe.It loads a cmd prompt then quickly closes without doing nything and then Comodo reports that it has a trojan.

You could try to pack the exe file with UPX. Most antivirus programs are so stupid that they can't recognize the program after packing.

It's a commandline tool. Add it to your exception list and try starting it with a -? or -h or -help parameter.

Live long and prosper. \\//,

That's why I told it's a false positive. This script kiddies irritate me.
(A real pr0 could write it's own miner....)

The miner itself is not a virus. Norton flagged it because the miner is being used as part of an IRC-based trojan to steal your computer's resources and make the hacker some coins at your expense.

Live long and prosper. \\//,

With the latest virus definitions NIS 2011 will detect an older version Ufasoft miner's bitcoin-miner.exe as Trojan.Gen (generic trojan)...
(I dl'ed it packed with GUI miner 20110614 and 20110701)

The current version are also marked "possibly bad" within Norton File Insight...
