My Antivirus isn't Listed Here
We have in-depth guides available for many common Antivirus options. If there isn't a guide for you, you can still
follow the official whitelist guide from your Antivirus manufacturer. When you get to adding an exclusion, you'll need
to add this path: C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads.
If your Antivirus isn't listed above, we can still help. Whilst we can't provide an in-depth guide, you can follow these basic steps below that should still apply to your Antivirus.
Whitelisting Salad's Miners
If Salad is being blocked by your Antivirus, you'll need to add a whitelist. The folder you need to whitelist is
C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads . If your Antivirus service does not support folder whitelists, you will need to add a
whitelist for the individual miner .exe files. These can be
found under C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads . In this directory, you can find all of the folders for the miner plugins
we use, you'll need to whitelist each of the files within these folders.
Disabling Web-Shields
Your Antivirus may have a built-in web-shield or firewall service, if Salad is still being blocked after whitelisting the above path, you may need to disable this feature from your Antivirus, or add a whitelist for the miners.
