I've been using the Mac version of the memorycoin wallet. That should still be secure, right?

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.

.........says an (ex)CEO of Memorycoin. Well that's pretty convincing  Roll Eyes

I know what I have experienced and was using the wallet a couple of days before I decided to scan it.

Good on you for checking SamySamy, some people just install whatever they download. 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.
