Windows Malware and Trojan in Windows Wallets

[TimFChavez]

So I checked some of the windows wallets at http://www.virustotal.com and I see quite a few of them have either Malware or Trojan or both. Here is the list that I found and the Malware or Trojan they have.

Less alert! false positives are 1 in detection of 49 rising antivirus.
Source code can be checked and is clean.
Antivirus good, do not detect malware.
Executable to mine are always detected as a virus, and everyone this mining.
So... no problem !



This is true https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1760-warning-coins/

This is a bit alarmist. I just did a single scan against Dimecoin-qt.exe;

Detection ratio:    1 / 48

That's pretty low. Could easily be a false positive.

Handy site link though. Danke.

Hey knucklehead, ever hear of false positives?

Ok I put my computer on fire and run over it with my truck 12 times with 2 elephants in the cabin, is it enough? I may launch it to space just to make sure.

[BlackShadowX1]

I would not DL any of that crap to my computer, if not already, sooner or later someone going to get burnt.

[miffman]

they're probably all false positives. scanned with eset, all is good

[TimFChavez]

OK. Just checking. Thanks

A lot of things these programs are installed without people's knowledge on their PCs to mine, that is why they are sometimes considered "malware". You can view the source and compile yourself if you want to be sure it is clean.

I am in IT and I have seen many of that flagged by antivirus software. Even coin based websites can be blocked by corporate content filters.

No need to be alarmed.

Hey, it is always better to be safe then to be sorry. Also I bet that I've been using a computer longer then you have. I started using them back in 1984 and been online since 1986 and got my first internet account in 1994.

Where are the links to the results ?

My FTC QT is showing the normal botnet/ false ID and not what you are claiming.
