Once you install the Gamma software it will add in the following .exe file in the following directory
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Gamma\\Miners\\ethminer\\etherminer.exe
This is the .exe file which is part of initiating the gamma mining process.
Any Anti-Virus software is going to consider it to be a Trojan and will delete it.
Action as per following~~~
- Disable your Anti-Virus scanner
- Install Gamma
- From your AV software, White list the .exe file
- Enable your Anti-Virus scanner
- Start mining

Gamma includes ethminer & xmr miner - they're sometimes detected as viruses (false positive, but as many other crypto mining software).
As @Sye_The-Vie said - add etherminer to the whitelist... or just whole gamma folder.
