Hey guys,

It has been a while since I used Electrum, but today I wanted to send some BTC and logged back in.

When I tried to send the payment, I got a popup saying that I have to upgrade the wallet to version 4.0, and the popup had some links to download files for separate OS, such as windows, linux etc.. I clicked one of the links, and got the message that the download failed. After doing so, I figured I would be able to update the client through the application itself, but could not find a way to do so. I headed to the Electrum website andfound that this was a malicious popup and that the latest version is 3.3.6.

This is the situation:
My existing Electrum wallet is version 3.0.1
I most likely clicked a malicious link, my browser indicated that download failed, but malware bytes stopped some connection to malicious websites since. (though no threats were detected when I scanned my laptop).
I did not install a version 4 manually (maybe the "failed download" did so automatically).
I have not logged in using my pass in another version of Electrum wallet 3.0.1, and have not entered the pw since potentially downloading the malicious installer.
I have not used my seed anywhere what so ever.

My assumption is the following: My laptop is most likely infected with some shitty malware, but I'm not sure if they are able to access my BTC.

How do I proceed. Can I just download the latest Electrum version on another computer, use seed to install wallet there? Then create new wallet / seed and transfer the BTC just to be safe?

Any thoughts? Fingers crossed I'm not too far gone, reading others' messages send chills down my spine as I don't want to lose my holdings..

You better believe that this can happen..

Who drops this stuff..

These shitcoins take away from the real value that crypto's add to the real world, and in my opinion slow the mass adoption of them as it are these coins that people laugh at and say; dude it's a bubble..

This would be great.. follow in BCC's footsteps..

Buy low sell high..

It's working fine for me, and my friends also tell me it's working again for them, thank god.. If my funds would have been gone, pffff...

Hi Dek,

Hey, do you have any Jr Member accounts, registered before October '17?

If post for 30 days was the only requirement I need, I would have done it However, I'm also looking for another requirement that unfortunately is beyond my control..


Thanks!

I see your point, but as I stated I'm not looking for a high ranked account, I'm looking for a Jr. member account.
