lots of virus warnings on this wallet.

And the website...


First time i see this warning, and what are the details?

Looks like it is saying the wallet download has a Trojan...



The wallet is safe, if you want to be sure check it with virustotal


We used to use Symantec products at work but, it was famous for "false positives". While I can see the value in being overly careful, it is also rather annoying. Download the free version of Malwarebytes. If that identifies it as having a problem, than there might be some possibility of an issue. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

From Symantec:

"Trojan.Gen.2 is a generic detection for many individual but varied Trojans for which specific definitions have not been created. A generic detection is used because it protects against many Trojans that share similar characteristics."

So, basically anything that installs on your PC that contacts any kind of outside server, database or control computer with the ability to send info to same. Yea, your wallet fits that description...
