Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Means absolutely nothing. Virus scanners only pick up viruses that are widely distributed, not ones tailored to a specific niche.

Summary - no virus

(You are likely right, but...)

You need to ask that other person to compare the SHA256 hash for his/her executable with the one you scanned.

Actually it would be nice if BFL would publish the hashes for the files they are posting.

This is a good idea. Will publish SHA1 of the files.
