Title: How to be sure that new alts without any malware code?
Post by: TerrorFromTheDeep on July 23, 2018, 05:34:45 PM
Hi All,

I often download wallets of new altcoins and provide them wide rights on my computer, but how can I be sure that they do not contain malicious code? Trojans or anything else?

Probably does help the anti-virus software, logical? Scanners for viruses of any type VirusTotal, Malwarebytes. However, you need to study the coin itself and who or what is behind it.

It is quite difficult to figure this out, but as long as you have an anti virus app on your phone and laptops, it will detect every trojan and ensure that there is no form of maliciousity in your devices.

Be careful with altcoins wallets, not all wallets are real.
Don't compromise your device..

it can't be detected through use the latest anti-virus program and as far as i know that the malware is already included in the category of the program. it can't be considered as a code and you can try to find them use the anti-virus. The malware is really different with backdoor (you can see how this will work after you are reading all of the things about binance hacked case through API)
