Cyprohunter, Please list the anti virus software that gives the results you talked about. We can see if we can replicate those issues/errors. Cheers Smiley

Its fine for me on both mac and pc

Also, make sure you download the wallet from here - http://builds.xcurrency.co/blocknet/Build/ - the wallet is compiled directly from the code in github automatically.

http://builds.xcurrency.co/blocknet/Build/Official_Blocknet_Wallet/

The official wallet is above, please do not download any wallets from mega..

Perhaps remove that mega  link from the OP then?? let's hope a lot of people I recommended to this project have not become infected with junk that will harm their machines or worse extract their crypto investment.





A few people have asked me why this wallet throws up so many virus/malware warnings?
I know these are probably false alarms but on virus total it throws more virus warnings than any other wallet i have seen.
Is there a way to fix these false flags? Some people will not put this on their machine they said.

Is there a new updated wallet over the one in the OP because a few people are having issues even running it? probably because their av is stopping it running.

Seeing same thing here. I know block is legit, but need to fix these small issues.

Take me to moonn!

The question has been asked in Slack, and the dev was unaware of this happening and has asked for more details. Can either of you give more details of the messages you are getting?



All they need to do is upload their windows wallet to the virustotal website and you will see all the flags

I have never seen a wallet on here get so many flags before and from the most well known virus maleware programs.

Most novice users will not be able to install this on their machines without adding exceptions to all their anti virus and malware progs.
this is quit a big issue.

Windows Wallet from op shows 19 viruses, but the one from website shows 0 viruses in virus total. Looks like two different files.


That link has been there since 2014? has nobody mentioned it is riddled with virus and malware flags?

Those are hopefully false flags but I hope none are serious issues.

I expect we need to get that file analysed now to make those who have no doubt downloaded the blocknet wallet from this OP that there could indeed be an issue if there is indeed an issue.
