Title: [WARNING] STOP using memorycoin - VIRUS ALERT Post by: samysamy1 on January 17, 2014, 02:40:32 PM WARNING: STOP USING THE WALLET, DELETE IT, SCAN AND REMOVE THE VIRUS
Here are the results for the scan http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/d69537b8cb0b1b8577b2fb4f8c0a416406eaf335 The wallet was downloaded from the original website: http://memorycoin.org/ Trap: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=411905.0 Title: Re: STOP using memorycoin - VIRUS ALERT Post by: nobodysbusiness on January 17, 2014, 02:43:56 PM I've been using the Mac version of the memorycoin wallet. That should still be secure, right?
Title: Re: [WARNING] STOP using memorycoin - VIRUS ALERT Post by: FreeTrade on January 17, 2014, 03:05:04 PM It's okay - there's no virus.
MemoryCoin includes an easy-to-use miner, and some virus software mis-identifies that as a virus. We're looking at using a different one that doesn't trigger alerts, but there's no reason to panic. Thanks for your vigilance samy, but please don't panic about this. Title: Re: [WARNING] STOP using memorycoin - VIRUS ALERT Post by: FaSan on January 17, 2014, 03:07:19 PM Yes, it's a false positive. Nothing to be worry

Thanks for your vigilance samy, but please don't panic about this. .........says an (ex)CEO of Memorycoin. Well that's pretty convincing ::) I know what I have experienced and was using the wallet a couple of days before I decided to scan it.

You'll find that with wallets and miners you will get false positives. That being said, you still need to be vigilant. There are scammers here that will send you viruses to steal your wallets.
