OWMiner v1.9 Flagged as Virus And Deleted From My Computer!

Postby TerryChadban » Thu Jan 29, 2015 9:32 pm

Hi Alex,
Just a quick warning to let you know that Ad-aware Antivirus 'detected a virus' in OWMiner v1.9 today, and deleted the program without even warning me! I have contacted Ad-aware for an explanation as to why, after more than a year of daily testing, OWMiner was suddenly flagged as a virus, and am waiting for their reply, but thought I should warn you and anyone else who is using Ad-aware of the problem.

Do you know of anything in the program that might set an antivirus program off after all this time, maybe you planted a time-bomb in the program? ;-)

Hi Terry. There is absolutely nothing that may be considered as suspicious content in this utility, except of its ability to get information from scoresway.com. Moreover, excecutable file OWMiner.exe has been digitally signed by Newhaven Software.
