Let it be on the list sir, it will victimize us, it's a keylogger.

To avoid the negative effects that can we get from those malware, it is suggested to run each wallet or miner in a different virtual machine with virtualbox. Its one best solution.

Btw thank you sir in informing us. It was a big help and a warning as well.

In addition to WannaCry there is another dangerous and sophisticated virus. One of them is Kelihos.
Kelihos is a botnet and sometimes known as Hlux. The target of this virus is to spam and steal BitCoin. The most dangerous, is the theft of BitCoin. BitCoin price is very expensive and has skyrocketed to Rp 25 million more. Imagine you lost that precious BitCoin.

yeah, bitcoin is huge right now so therefore people will be greedy and they will make anything for money, they will send scam links in many people with a most pleasing content that users may be believe but it cointains viruses.

Thanks for being on top of this and keeping us informed, we do appreciate it!

I think having a desktop wallet is very prone to this.
Vulnerability is high in this case. I guess better to always back up your wallet or choose a safer one.

Just add, so that our PC is not directly exposed to Malware
1. Make sure your computer / pc is always renewable
2.Do not be fooled by downloading unknown software

i use avast free. works fine but the paid version has more features that may be beneficial for noobs but i have no use for them.

but the real trick to avoiding virus/trojans is to update your os and programs regularly, stay off shady sites and not download cracked software.

only download from the authors site when you can. learn how md5/sha hashes work and verify your downloads with it, especially wallets.

dont download wallets for crapcoins willy nilly many have trojans. if you must use a virtual pc and even then be careful.

it allows you run run software so it cannot interact with the real pc its running on, or other vms on the same machine. theory is any malware is contained in just that the virtual machine.

you can run many vms on one real pc. so you run one wallet per vm and if one is malware it cannot affect the other stuff on the other vms. so basically is a jail malware cannot escape from.

you dedicate a vm to one altcoin wallet and run nothing else in that vm (except antivirus and a browser to get the wallet). so malware has nothing to steal/compromise. of course that wallet may be able to steal your coins from itself, but it cant steal coins from wallets running on other vms. ie it does not prevent trojans from running but it contains the damage. and you never enter sensitive info or enter sensitive sites on that vm (like no visiting exchange sites/email accounts) so it cannot collect passwords or anything. you use a regular machine for exchanges/email/whatever, or even a vm set up for just email/exchanges.

however.. its still not 100% perfect depending on how you set up it there can still be risks. but in general its quit safe.

there are many vms that are free. you can run windows and *nix on vms.

very informative for newbies, I always scan files with malwarebytes , I trust this program.

Some guy lost $150,000 of Bitcoins (50 BTC) a couple days ago trying to get access to his Bitcoin Cash.
He downloaded a malware "wallet" from an unknown site, but after opening the .exe file found his Bitcoin had all been stolen.
Let this be a reminder to all that you should be very careful about clicking links, downloading/installing programs, etc. related to cryptocurrencies!

[Muhammad Muneeb]

  what we really need to do to remain uninfected from the malware... since with the growth of bitcoin bad people are trying to steal the bitcoin with the different ways..

[DAVETUN]

.I recomend this and also ensure you dont visit site that entice with earning free btc or altcoin,lot of scammers and thiefs out there.

hi guys, I have a problem, I have just log my MyEtherWallet wallet private key into a fake MyEtherWallet site. I just dont know what to do. Is there any way to change the private key? The ETH wallet has no coins anyway, but soon it will have (from bounties). Please advice me what to do?

[Jake Roberson]

Thanks for the significant attention, based on BTC protection which could be absorbed for some technical reasons, if not you, appreciate that!

[casey.anthony195]

Thank you for listing all of this here. This post actually saved my money twice(!) today, as some guys tried to replace download links in the discussion on the other forums.

Create a new wallet and try to redirect the payment to your new wallet (contact dev team that will send the payment for bounties) I guess this is only possible way
