This is likely because it was downloaded, but not "unblocked" before unzipping the folder. Windows protects itself by blocking assemblies (and other executables) that were downloaded from the internet but not signed. FIX: Before unzipping, right click on ZIP folder, select "Properties" and then click "Unblock". Now you can unzip and use the assemblies successfully. | |

| Jun 28, 2017 at 2:15 | comment | added | Piaras | OK - thanks to those for the attention to edit and improve the question posed and content on this matter. Yes I will try the Claymore miner - although it does seem a defeatist path given that others with a similar problem will have no choice but to abandoned ethminer? | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 16:28 | comment | added | Nicolas Massart | It seems that people having this problem switched to Claymore miner and fixed it. | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 15:08 | comment | added | Piaras | Following on from the same Q&A at ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/18615/… "... The OS thought the Miner was a Virus and blocked it, something wrong with the compilation of the Library .dll (and copying one from elsewhere worked), to change your Mining Software" There is no indication from Norton 360 that ethminer.exe has been blocked (unless there is something I am missing?) - no error message regarding dll and I have reloaded the Mist software - any assistance from the 'been there and done that' would be much appreciated? | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 14:55 | comment | added | Piaras | Thanks for getting back on this matter Nicolas - I have taken a second look at one of the Q&A's namely at : ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/18615/… Although the hardware is different to mine the resulting software issue is very similar: miner 15:47:47|main Getting work package... miner 15:47:47|main Grabbing DAG for #129656acΓǪ You will notice that the last characters of the DAG file name are corrupted - perhaps this is worthy of attention (it does not appear to have been resolved) | |

| Jun 27, 2017 at 8:13 | comment | added | Nicolas Massart | I'm sorry, I never tried to mine with windows, but I not sure the dag name corrupted chars are saying anything about your problem, this could simply be a display problem, windows shell is not known to be the best one, especialy for special characters... | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 1:31 | comment | added | Piaras | OK - I can't find the original post? Can you assist with this? Or maybe peruse the above content and refer me to a site that specifically deals with this kind of issue (I am close to abandoning the whole idea of eth mining). | |
