Hi Marc,
I still can't import the private key and I have 51.973444 BTC. I see the balance on blockchain.info but something is corrupt with my bitcoinqt client and I cannot transfer the BTC.
Here is a zip attached with my wallet.dat, and the password. ************ Can you please transfer the BTC to the following address : ************************** ?
Thanks alot you save my life !
My name is surely not Marc. Question is this... is this a new form of scam/virus related on bitcoin? The link brings to a zipped file called walletBTC.zip And why in the world I would send them to him? I'm like... keep them for myself, right? Should I try to open it in a safe zone aka linux machine and be curious like a cat to know what the hell he sent to me or should I simply delete the email and let it go forever like it never happened?

Sounds like a virus to me. There's no need to make the wallet.dat into a zip file. And why would he send his wallet to someone he doesn't know? Emails aren't like phone calls where you can easily dial a wrong number.

Upload it here: https://www.virustotal.com/And see what it says, 98% sure it is a virius... Also, did you know the sender? What e-mail was it from?

I find it wise that you reached the community to ask for advice.
Yet I find it funny that you didn't share the zip file by uploading it somewhere and posting a link to it, so the bitcointalk lurkers involved in IT security could have a closer look at it :-)

I tried to extract it and i find inside UPX0 and UPX1 file, plus some folder like bitmap etc etc... you want the file? I give you the file so you can inspect it. Beware don't open it if you aren't using gloves or security protection. Don't use it on a machine where it contains your wallet or important stuff. a virtual machine without internet connection is fine.*link deleted because I don't want noobs to click it*

I opened the file that you just posted. My computer started making a lot of noise from the hard drive but I couldn't see anything happening on screen. Now all of a sudden my wallet is gone and so are my 23 bitcoins.
Can somebody please help me with this? Is this some kind of joke? I'm really worried!

The hdd noise was probably it scanning for your wallet. The Bitcoins diss-appearing was probably the intent of the malware. I would advise individuals such as yourself to only use paper wallets. Without good security standards the Bitcoin QT client is dangerous. EDIT: Here is a virustotal of the zip. Notice how AVG detected it, and avast didn't. Of the free antivirus programs available AVG is by far the best.

This happens when you don't know how to read red warnings before clicking on anything you find on your path Beware don't open it if you aren't using gloves or security protection. Don't use it on a machine where it contains your wallet or important stuff. a virtual machine without internet connection is fine.
Your only excuses are: You are trolling You don't have sight for red colors You are an aggressive person that behaves against the warnings. Next person that wants to click on that wallet stealer better send me all his money so when the stealer finds your wallet it's already empty. Just in case. Virus total said 11 antivirus found it as a backdoor/trojan.
