The fix is to submit these files to the AV companies and tell them the non-virus purpose. They need to tune their software to know these programs aren't only (but sometimes are) part of a virus.

I already tried to submit and describe them with a number of flagged files through BitDefender (what I have installed). I have no idea if they'll ever fix this, but for now I whitelisted the directory (told the program to ignore the folder), and restored the quarantined copies.

Also from their troubleshooting section on here (github)...

"My anti-virus is blocking the application

Some anti-virus software might block NiceHash Miner as well as supporting back-end programs (cpuminer, ccminer, sgminer) due to false-positive matches. All software, included into NiceHash Miner has been verified and checked by our team and is absolutely virus/trojan free. Our service is well established and trusted among users, therefore you can fully trust software releases that are downloaded from our GitHub repository: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases. However, make sure you never download and run any files from other unknown sources! If you downloaded the software package from our GitHub repository you can simply resolve the issues with false-positives by adding the files sgminer.exe, ccminer_sp.exe, ccminer_tpruvot.exe, cpuminer_x64_AVX.exe, cpuminer_x64_AVX2.exe and cpuminer_x64_SSE2.exe to anti-virus exception list."
