BEWARE: SpriteCoin Malware

[diwataluna]

Hi all! Sorry if this is in the wrong thread or someone has reported it. I just wanted to share right away.

I saw an airdrop form for Spritecoin in one of my groups but did not sign up.

BEWARE! There is no such cryptocurrency as SpriteCoin, no real ICO.

In general, don't rush to install wallets. Research and look for feedback from users. There are threads here with tips on how to avoid installing malicious apps thinking they are new coin wallets.

If you want to instal a "new risky" wallet the best way to do in my opinion is to instal a virtual machine on the pc.
In easy words a virtual machine is an emulator of the computer, inside the computer but no shared with the computer, so if you will install a malware and it will be turn out in a scam, you can delete the machine and create a new virtual machine.

A very good and free virtal machine software is downloadable here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html, you will need only free space on hard disk and OS installation CD bootable or Flash drive with OS
