Atomic Wallet - Dangerous?

[Kongxx]

I got a msg when i tried to download and install Atomic Wallet onto my Windows 7 of Acer notebook. How do you think? Can i install this wallet?

This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep attomicwallet.exe anyway? [KEEP] [DISCARD] tabs

Where did you download it from? I hope from the official link? Did you check for SSH certification of the website before-hand?
Anyway, Chrome does acts like this when you try to download some particular wallets or miners. It's safe unless you know you didn't download it from a proper source.

I do get similar notifications when downloading third party apps and softwares but usually they are safe but still i would say that you should stay alert and do more due diligence as the new wallets and exchanges can be unsafe so i recommend to use reputed and established wallets only.

You need to install from the official website. And there the file is called "atomicwallet". Your file is "attomicwallet". And in General it is better to install on the phone from the official app store.

This is the common warning when installing any wallets on windows. If you download it from the official source, there won't be any problem.

Like everyone has been posting. Are you sure you downloaded the application from the official source? That is atomic wallet official website? There are a lot of phishing applications online which have been carefully created to steal your keys and hack your wallet. Be safe.

As you know Atomic wallet is trusty wallet and this is not scam and no any harmful file in Atomic wallet so no any issue in Atomic wallet.

If you are trying to download from Google Chrome, some times system on this browser give warning about downloaded wallet. If you are on official websites, and still got this warning just ignore that warning. But, if you are download from outside (not from official sites) please don't continue download to help you avoid bad scripts on wallet.

DYOR.

This is not applicable to Atomic wallet only, almost all of them does that especially when you are downloading through Chrome. Once I am downloading from a reliable source i don't mind

First of all, this wallet was not bad, but it came out quite recently. Secondly, it is not known what is trying to crawl into your system under it. Perhaps you visited the scam website and downloaded the wrong product. It is worth all to double-check before installing.

the less popular the wallets the harder it is to trust them because they are not reviewed and can have any kind of back doors and shady things inside of them, so the answer to your question is "maybe".

the only thing you can do is go find the source code of the wallet you are trying to install and then download the source code (assuming it is open source, if it is not then stay the hell away). the review the code yourself and see what it is doing and then use it.

I don't think it will harm your device since we very often see this notification with some file downloading sites. Anyway, you must consider checking the file authentication by any provided hash/PGP key. It would be better. I have heard about atomic wallet and I guess it is a trusted wallet.

Correct, just like other member experience, Chrome download miners wallet have a warning message and let user choose to keep or decline the file. Just make sure wallet is download from official website, use online virus scanner check the file, such as virustotal and kaspersky, after everything is pass then wallet is safe to installed.

Atomic wallet has extensively advertised itself as a multicurrency wallet on both mobile and desktop. They might be thinking of earning from the fees of the internal exchange but still there operation and advertisement seems suspicious. I'd not trust a large amount to keep with them as they are more profit focused than anything else. It remind me of holywallet.

No, it is only information that Microsoft doesn´t know the certificates. Since Atomic wallet is a small company, it will take a long time to get these certificates.

I had same experience and I was taken aback if I would still continue with what I am doing during that time, what I did was I use my mobilephone instead just to make sure the donwload would not compromise anything with my pc and of course my accounts. Everytime I received an alert sich that same warning I am started to get paranoid that perhaps if I will continue the dl sooner or later I will get hack so I just stop the dl at once.

[silver23]

what ? are you really that is real ?
i am used Atomic wallet the frist time when that Atomic project just begin, i join ICO airdrop and bounty campain too.
as i know the Atomic Wallet is safe and have an innovation that swap system and now they get partner with Binance Dex.
i really don't believe with this issue.

It does happen to me when installing or application my my window 10. I always ensure I download from the right source by using the developers website. This way am safe. I have the desktop atomic swap wallet on my laptop.

I think you do not need to worry and you can safely install a wallet on your computer. Often such situations also arise for the antivirus that you use, but I assure you that the Atomic project is a good project with a cool product and you should not worry about the integrity of your personal information on your device.

[Shatterlean22]

Its safe if you download it from the official source e.g atomic wallet very own website ,do not run the .exe file if its from another source because it might be a trojan file or virus
