Have you ever wondered if a program is a virus? Sometimes, legitimate software can be mistakenly flagged by antivirus programs.

One such example is cgminer, a popular mining software used for cryptocurrency. It has been reported that cgminer is sometimes packaged with trojan scripts, leading to false accusations by antivirus software.

The antivirus software may incorrectly identify cgminer.exe as the virus, even though it is just the innocent program that has been bundled with malicious content. This can be confusing for users who have intentionally installed cgminer.

If you have downloaded and installed cgminer yourself, from a trusted source, then you can be assured that your computer is not infected with a virus. The issue lies with the packaging and not the software itself.
