Okay, so I have a local litecoin wallet, and I have P2Pool running on my system. Also ScryptMiner (for CPU mining) I have several machines mining to this "server" which runs P2Pool and the litecoin wallet. I transferred most of my coins over to this wallet from exchanges/other pools to store them "safely", I woke up this morning to find a rouge transaction taking 40.10 coins (my total balance at time of transaction) to a random Litecoin address. I DID NOT make this transaction as I was asleep! How can someone possibly make this transaction? is litecoin bogus? is p2pool a scam? Wouldn't they have to physically enter my "server" to make a transaction in this wallet? PLEASE help, any advice would be SO GREAT! https://i.imgur.com/PuJSlav.png |

You need to have your wallet encrypted. If your wallet has been compromised, you need to create a new one and encrypt that. Ideally on a machine that isn't compromised. Encrypting your current wallet does no more good than the proverbial shutting of the stable door after the horses have bolted.

Yes, one of the first things that should have been done, was a wallet encryption. Best thing the developers ever implemented.

Possibly, a trojan. It doesn't need to come with your litecoin/p2pool software. Other advice: forget about windows OS and use a decent one. |
Proposals for improving bitcoin are like asses: everybody has one

Would a decent up to date antivirus help prevent this type of theft?

Humans are always the weakest link in a security model. Upgrade yourself and learn basic security practices. Profit! |

Did you run any suspicious Java applets? A bunch of pages have been floating around that claim to be Java chat rooms or "Mt. Gox accepting Litecoin"-type announcements that also request you to run a Java applet.

if you use this wallet as a base for many miners, you have RPC open
rpcuser=xxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxx
rpcport=8332
you have to:
not redirect rpc port on router, or blok it for non-locals in firewall
set good long pasword
add rpcallowip=10.0.0.* or rpcallowip=192.168.0.* depending on your LAN config.
but most important thing is encrypting wallet!!!!!!!!!!
