Title: Electrum Cash Malicious?
Post by: tradecoin.me on August 01, 2017, 08:13:12 PM
I went to download the Electrum Cash wallet on a new pc and I see it is blocked by ESET!

Any other alternatives?

False positive. Perhaps some Core die-hards reported it to sabotage the BitcoinCash ecosystem.

get electrum cash only from trusted sources! https://github[dot]com/electroncash/windows-linux  <--- FAKE LINK

THERE ARE FAKE LINKS GOING AROUND LIKE: foykball !!! PLEASE VERIFY YOURSELF WITH CHECKSUM!! HELP ME SPREAD THIS MESSAGE
That IS NOT the official link... And it certainly IS NOT a trusted source.

The fyookball GitHub is the one that is linked from the OFFICIAL website at https://www.electroncash.org

I have no idea where you got that link from... Perhaps you are "TheBlueMatt" and trying to promote your scam? But that entire repo that you are spamming all over the board is only like 1 day old and full of errors (all the '.' characters are changed to ',' ???)... ElectronCash has been around for 2+ weeks... ::)

Stop spreading fake links!
