Hopefully it's just false positives but really worrying.

Any ideas? @fabulouspanda

Gotta be false positives?

Here's the update log from ClamXav so you can compare definition numbers

I don't think there's anything I can do about that, a lot of coin miners get false positives. The downloads I provide are signed with my Apple Developer ID. This app was pretty popular when mining was so I'm sure Apple would have put a stop to that if I was signing malware!

You're probably right though I understandably panicked a little when it came up with 14 warnings.

However I sent the files over to ClamXav themselves to check over on Friday and they came back Monday saying they can't be certain they have Trojan's, they just see a lot of them in mining software.

So you're probably right, sorry about this.
