Log into coinotron and create a new worker in the "Add Worker" section. The worker will appear in the table below. Use the displayed name and password of your worker in the command and you should be fine.</p>

Processes that use a lot of system resources are sometimes blocked by antivirus software, because sometimes adware mines bitcoins on the computer of its victim.

# Troubleshooting "access is denied" error when running cgminer

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-05-24)

I am trying to run cgminer on Windows 7. However every time I execute the command:

```
cgminer --scrypt -o http://coinotron.com:3334 -u username -p pass  --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 10 -g 1 -w 256

```

It says `access is denied`.

What am I doing wrong?
