Damn, I checked their website with VirusTotal yesterday, there was this small warning. I didn't open their website, just the twitter account.

Glad I didn't, look what rescan.pro found:



Why isn't their ANN closed already, there were so many bumping bots?

Thanks for the link, never knew about that website, will start using it from now on.

Weird how some things can get past VirusTotal -- its pretty comprehensive.

Here's the thing: even if you are telling the truth, you're off to a pretty bad start here and perhaps you should consider advertising your project elsewhere. In addition to your malware issue, you've hired an extremely poor spambot service to bump your thread for you, which is a tactic frequently employed by scam projects to attract attention to their website.

You have people (or bots)

1. writing incredibly bland responses in broken English that are considered spam, resulting in their deletion and possible banning of the offending account:

Your project is very potential, I believe that you will succeed. I will always follow the information from you.

2. writing incredibly bland responses in Spanish (all have been deleted as spam already), and

3. copy/pasting comments from earlier in the thread for the sake of bumping the thread, which is highly frowned upon, and to be frank makes you look pretty stupid:

weak sauce. seems to be no reason for this tokens existence really
if you wanted to do the things claimed on your site, you would make your OWN chain
why rely on another coin for your project to survive?
lack of hard work, that is all. erc20 tokens are much less effort

weak sauce. seems to be no reason for this tokens existence really
if you wanted to do the things claimed on your site, you would make your OWN chain
why rely on another coin for your project

Honest projects with integrity do not resort to these kinds of tactics, but scammers do. A project's own strengths will help them gain traction and popularity -- not this forced version of creating artificial buzz. Most forum members see through your tactics already (as can be seen by a lot of comments in your thread left by more established members).

In short, you should either:

1. Open a new thread under a new account name, but don't do so until you've fixed your malware "issue."
2. Advertise elsewhere.

I just checked your website -- its still up and the warning from my Malwarebytes is still active. I'm not removing my posts about your project or negative trust rating. I doubt others will either.

Hi, I'm Mirko Vanzo, CEO and Co-Founder of OMNIS-BIT.
Thank you for bringing this malware to light, unfortunately we were not aware of it.
We immediately proceeded to verify and subsequently to remove the malware,  Mattia has already made note of this in the previous post. You can check yourself with any software.
We hope you can change your mind about us and our project, so we are at your complete disposal for any clarification.
Greetings, Mirko

I doubt that anyone would be interested in considering a second opinion.

Why have you only decided to remove the malware from your site after a scam accusation is launched against you? If you have the capability of verify and remove the malware, why did you not do so when your "third party" developers handed over the finished website? Are you that unprofessional as to not audit anything that's put on your site by a third party?

And this is assuming that you aren't lying, which is debatable.

It's your responsibility as a web admin to ensure that your site is safe and malware free, you can't push that onus onto the consumers and expect them to give you a second chance.
