Wow, the software correctly recognized CoinHunter's ego as a virus? IMPRESSIVE. :)

LOL Wolftaur  ;D ;D ;D

But that's a false positive.

You mean to tell me that I'm supposed to believe that there's a high correlation between the fingerprint of a known trojan and the solidcoin application, but no correlation?

You mind explaining why it tried to launch itself then? Mind you, this is a completely fresh install of Win 7 from original media.

Ya bitcoin is equally suspect for the same thing.  But solidcoin is turning it's efforts toward patching much of the security flaws from Bitcoin so that further attacks from bitcoin community members are much less likely.  Bitcoin is really earning a name for itself being the currency of choice for money launderers, drug addicts and black market, malicious hackers and scammers....

The flaw ArtForz used isn't actually a practical attack against Bitcoin. But nice to know you're still valuing the SolidCoins you have enough to be willing to spread lies to make SolidCoin look good.

So.. I feel like I just got 'one loved' by Bruce Wagner.

Is there anywhere online that I can upload the solidcoin.exe that's been quarantined to check?

There's an open source client, it's much better than the closed source version :)
