Why does my antivirus recognizes Bitcoin Core as a threat? Should i turn it off?
Several people have placed parts of known computer viruses in the Bitcoin block chain. This block chain data cant infect your computer, but some anti-virus programs quarantine the data anyway, making it more difficult to run Bitcoin Core. This problem mostly affects computers running Windows.
this doesn't make any sense! do you have any reference or more information about this.
as far as i can tell, the only thing you can "place" in the bitcoin blockchain is a short hex string using the OP_Return. how can a string be recognized as a virus?!
