Hi guys. Just wondering about safety while installing new wallets on my PC. There is a number of new cryptocurrencies which are giving out for free at early stage. Who doesn't want a bunch of new coins absolutely for free?  Grin Perhaps they may be valuable at some stage and you won't loose this opportunity of getting rich lol Wink. The only problem is that you have to download and install specific wallet in order to get these coins. My concern is about safety as some of these shit coins and their wallets maybe, maybe are created only to infect your computer with some trojans in order to steal your precious Bitcoins, Litecoins or other valuable stuff. What you think about this? Are you fancy to take that risk? What security measures you put in place?
