Shit, installed novacoin-qt for nothing...
novascoin.org has the same links to sourceforge as novacoin.org, how does our system gets compromised in this attack?
Links are not the same. sourceforge.net/projects/nova scoin qt/files/ vs. sourceforge.net/projects/novacoin/files/ // Sent file to Kaspersky Lab and DrWeb. Upload it using jotti and virustotal: it'll get detected by many AVs after a few hours.

Android != Linux, it's just a Dalvik VM based platform. Android could be started under any OS (MIPS/Vxworks for example), you just need to port a Dalvik VM with underlying libraries.

LOL, I got one too from Jozzaboy. Reported to admin. Nice try, but I don't even care about Novacoin. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

It seems that they are using victim accounts to send more PMs.

This is Jozzaboy. Unfortunately I've discovered my computer was infected with infected with DarkComet RAT. A remote control software. They have successfully gained access into my account, Jozzaboy and changed the email and password. Even attempted to get into my email without success.
If you downloaded that file, isolate the machine and scan it for all new .exe files since you downloaded it and run DarkComet RAT remover. Change any passwords you entered since the file was downloaded.
Fucking virus and people who don't have anything better to do.

If nothing else, it looks as though sourceforge has taken down the novascoin "project." I'm guessing that I wasn't the only one to click the "report abuse" button on that page.

I sent the EXE to ClamAV.
