While we may have aspirations of going viral, Salad is not malicious software. If your antivirus program flags Salad, it’s due to us being relative newcomers or our embedded mining libraries. Once we have user numbers in the thousands, antivirus programs will start to recognize and whitelist Salad. Until then, you’ve just got our solemn word that we’re not trying to do anything underhanded with your PC- We just want to borrow your GPU for a bit, that’s all.
