Electrum Bitcoin Wallet is Trojan?

[mindrust]

Goddammit.

I just moved from core wallet to electrum and now this pops up.

I also checked the file in virus total and got 1/56 result. It has a trojan named: trojan.win32.multiinjector.c!rfn

Fck this shit.

I can't delete it too.

Fuck.

edit: ok deleted the bastard. just keep trying.

I am curious to know how you are using virustotal?
Do you download on your computer and then upload using their file tab?

I uploaded the file. Should i worry?

There is nothing Electrum can do.  Electrum created a good piece of software that is NOT a trojan, and virustotal has chosen to lie to you about it.  Electrum can't make virustotal stop lying.

Why isn't virus total lying about every other wallet I've tested? Do they have something against Electrum? Every single other wallet has been 0/56

A part of the Electrum code may have resembled a string from a known virus or may have behavior that they deem suspicious. It is important to note that the analyse is not done by virustotal but done by the antiviruses. Antiviruses are at times quite inaccurate. That being said, the only antivirus that detected it as a virus is Invincea and it isn't even well known.

No there is nothing to worry about, and as I said read This]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1639722.msg16496231#msg16496231]This. I have also downloaded and checked it with my AV and there is nothing to worry about.

The reason I asked this is because I though there is an easier way to check it directly and not download, upload

How did you delete it? I've been trying to delete it ever since I noticed the Trojan and it says "File cant be deleted because its in USE" I checked task manager and its not there. Tried shredding it, nothing. Restarted my PC and it tells me "File is in USE" Really???

Note that Electrum binaries for Windows are not created on Windows, but on a Linux computer running Wine.
Thus, this machine cannot be infected with Windows malware.

I was in the same position. I kept hitting delete button and it succeeded after a few tries. Keep trying

I don't know.  They are probably being lied to by the virus scanning program. You'll have to ask them.

Do they have something against Electrum?

Maybe.  Or maybe they just aren't very careful about their reporting. More likely, the virus scanning program isn't very careful about their reporting.

Every single other wallet has been 0/56

Every single other wallet?  How many others have you tested? perhaps the ones you tested just got lucky.

Danny Hamilton.... I hope you realize that virus total has nothing to do with it. They aren't the one scanning the file, is the antivirus scanning the file. So when you say that Virus Total is lying well ummm you sound like a very arrogant person if you actually meant it. I'm sure you've gotten that before from Family and Friends. I am a very good judge of character and you sir are not liked by many.

Nope. I had no idea.  I assumed based on the conversation in the thread that VirusTotal was an antivirus program that you and others were using. I've gone back and fixed my posts.  Thanks for explaining.

is the antivirus scanning the file.

Obviously.  I wasn't familiar with Virus Total, and the context of the discussion in the thread made it appear that it was a virus scanning program.

So when you say that Virus Total is lying well ummm you sound like a very arrogant person if you actually meant it.

Nope. I meant that the virus scanning program was lying.  I figured that was obvious from the context of my posts.  Does that mean I'm not arrogant after all?

I'm sure you've gotten that before from Family and Friends.

Nope.  But perhaps they've avoided saying anything about it to me, because they don't want to hurt my feelings?

I am a very good judge of character and you sir are not liked by many.

Thanks.  That's good to know.  Is there some way I can fix that, or am I stuck with not being liked forever?  Perhaps I'll just need to accept being liked by a few rather than many?
