Yacy flagged as coin miner

YaCy

when running my antivirus it has detected 2 files of yacy as coin miner.
crawlstacker.java and multiportocolurl.java
any idea? false positive?

interesting, I don’t know how a miner detection works, but I can confirm that these are not miners.
See yourself:

Hi,
I guess it’s one of those “false positive” detections. I’ve run those 2 files against an online scanner. That site ran many antivirus scanners against these 2 files, and no one came with a result except the one that I use.

thanks for answering.

should be needless to say but I say it anyway: there is of course no miner anywhere in YaCy…
