Hi,

You should check in the chat of YPool as that miner is a custom miner created by jh00 (YPool). Nevertheless I am 99% sure that your antivirus is giving you a false positive, I assume that some trojan has embedded the miner before to do mine for them.

Nevertheless, I will suggest you download (if you want to mine PTS) if using CPU the yam ones.. same place in YPool or use a GPU one (much faster). You should find the GPU ones here in the forum.
