I dont know what you are talking about here, but if you are referring to my quickwallet software's "wallet.dat" then you are mistaken. That wallet.dat contains absolutely no private key. It's just a collection of bitcoin addresses encrypted to ensure privacy, but it has absolutely nothing to do with actualy "wallet.wallet" files like the Bitcoin Core or Armory uses.

First of all, it is wallet.dat not wallet.wallet. Smiley There are keyloggers which will save the password and then open it and next time you connect to internet, a TX popups in your wallet.

Otherwise who would be stupid enough to keep 1BTC if a wallet.wallet file in his infected online pc that is a major target to all kinds of viruses from faucet sites and malware?

It just doesnt seem logical to me.

You can detect Trojans, worm etc... easily but it's hard to detect keyloggers and it appears most in pirated copies of Windows and Mac OS. You won't know whether there are keyloggers when you do a quick-scan untill you do a deep scan or untill you find a TX.
