Two days ago AVG (Anti Virus Gold) updated and decided it should delete cgminer.exe and the zip file I got it from.

AVG Free doesnt pick any of them up as a virus. For anyone using windows i reccomend Kaspersky has done so much good for every machine ive used it on. also doesent pick up the bitcoin stuff as viruses.

Since most viruses now are really malware I use peerblock. There are large lists of IP's you can download and block or allow, and you can customize it too.
I used to love Avast. Now I use MSE.
Which antivirus software are you using? I'm curious.
Even i would like to know the anti-virus software you are using.
Me three! But I'll go out on a limb here and guess that it's either Norton of MacAffee lol...
Wrong on both of them will never use them B!tches lol
Am using avast internet security. However it did not pick up on that. It was malware bytes that kept stopping and blocking it on the ports.
Avast is rubbish, support worse

Hello everyone am not 100% sure of this but am making people aware of it. My anti virus and malware detection just went bonkers and blocked the following for BitCoin

Bitcoin is p2p, so you're connecting to various international nodes. Your anti-virus doesn't like one of the peers you connected to, for whatever reason. I'm assuming something similar would eventually happen if you used something like a torrent program.IP-BLOCK 222.65.39.112 (Type: outgoing, Port: 61224, Process: bitcoin-qt.exe)

Probably shouldn't worry about individual IP bans, since there are plenty of peers to choose from. If the AV program blocks Bitcoin from using those ports on an application level, though, you'll want to modify your AV settings to allow Bitcoin. If you're really concerned, though, you could use something like PeerBlock in conjunction with AV software, which can pull lists to block whatever types of entities you'd like per IP instead of per application.
Malwarebytes is a great scanner, but it's real-time protection could use some work. I have it detect false-positives all the time on customer's machines. I've actually stopped recommending the paid version until it gets a little more polished.
I use it for just that: a scanner. For real-time protection I suggest finding other solutions. MBam is no doubt a damn good program though. I've used it to bust some ugly viruses and malware before and it ran through them like a train.

even better, just use linux for everything

Most mining applications are ranked as malware (by association) by various AV companies, as they've been bundled with worms and other nasties before.
Most AV don't like bitcoin, so take whatever it tells you with a grain of salt.
As far as the specifics of that address, idk.

Ok cool cool
