Ok so my bitcoin core wallet experienced the problem mentioned above. I have tried reinstalling and the client still refuses to open.
Is there anyway I can get it to run again or transfer the funds to multibit without opening the bitcoin core client on my pc?
Any help is appreciated.
Further info:
Seems like my laptop has an attack from a variant of win32 watchman.d which I am unable to clean. I am afraid reformatting my lose my bitcoin core money as I have some money in there
best practice:
1) save your %AppData%Roaming\Bitcoin\wallet.dat on usb: remebre.. in this file you have aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall yours BTC.
2) format the pc to ensure Virus killing
3) reinstall pc
4) reinstall BTC QT-Wallet
5) overwrite %AppData%Roaming\Bitcoin\wallet.dat with usb wallet.dat
well done!!!
no virus... and all your BTC are secured and availabe!!!
