So since i have joined mylot, i have been getting pop ups from the cash gopher to make more money, i finally sighned up becuase i was also getting emails from mylot to sighn up with it, and when i sighned up my computer started telling me that there was a threat and i needed to clean my computer of the virus. but i did notice i was making money on the cash gopher. so can anyone tell me is the cash gopher safe? does your computer tell you that it is a threat also? please give me some info on the cash gopher. thank you and happy mylotting.

Thank you for starting this discussion. I like you have gotten them and thought of it but was a bit weary but as the other respondent said it was safe Ill believe that. I am just curious has it slowed down your downloading or uploading or does it even run while you are actually using the pc.. Im always looking for a way to add more funds to any of my accounts so I may check this out.. Any others have experience with this and whats your thoughts?

My computer has ran slower with the cash gopher and i get pop ups all the time from different sites, i also have had a new search engine put on my homepage that i did not even install. these things have never happened before i downloaded the cash gopher. so i actually have not gotten back to downloading back on mine yet, i dont want my computer to crash.

i think it is safe- I have been using it for many months now and nothing bad happened. it's just a side income, haven't really made much from it, but at least you don't have to do anything and it just earns by itself..although I am still not sure how I earn with it...

Yes, CashGopher is safe. Windows security and certain antivirus software reports it as a 'potential threat' because part of it's job is to process data and send the results back to the 'Mother Gopher'.
There is nothing dangerous or underhand in this. It is clearly stated in the FAQs and the program does NOT have access to any personal or sensitive data on your PC: it is simply using your spare processing power in the background, while you are not using the PC (and pays you for doing so).
Windows Security will identify two processes, I believe, which it considers suspect. You should be grateful to it as you would be grateful to a dog who barks when a friend knocks at the door. You simply need to say, in effect, 'I know what this is and I trust it. In future, you should not warn me about this particular process'.

Yes. The cash gopher is safe although we do not have cash gopher install to our computer. We have our main computer in the living room. My brother rid cash gopher when he reformat it in our computer. Our computer run so slow and so my brother decided to rid cash gopher although he did not know all about cash gopher. He did not know that we could earn money from it and I am so shy to tell him about cash gopher.
