Someone please fix (disinfect) the GCN wallet.  I just tried downloading the Windows Wallet to my PC and my antivirus caught a virus (Malware) Thank GOD!!!


Hi

Try the old one

https://github.com/GregGeoghegan/GCoin-GCN-Source (Some virus checkers prefer this one)

There is no virus. The code is open source so anyone can check it

Some virus checkers are not accurates.

Best

I expierenced the same problem. Newbies like me don't download some older version on some github source code. You should fix this asap I think. Crypto is indeed mainstream now, but mainstream folks shit in their pants when the virusscanner goes crazy and will leave GCN because of it.

I agree - There has to be a fixed.  Malware Virus are not necessarily your best friend and I keep my computer very clean.  Matter of fact...now that I think about it.  I have downloaded 3 other wallets.  1. HTML5 2. PAC. 3. Etherwallet and I have never seen this MALWARE VIRUS pop up on my computer.  Something does not sound right....  Please explain why I should go against my doubt and why GCN wallets can't get fixed???   Below you will find the meaning of MALWARE and why it should not be taken lightly. 

Thanks for understanding.

"Malware" is short for malicious software and used as a single term to refer to virus, spy ware, worm etc. Malware is designed to cause damage to a stand alone computer or a networked pc. So wherever a malware term is used it means a program which is designed to damage your computer it may be a virus, worm or Trojan.

Just because your antivirus calls something malware doesn't mean that it's actually malware. It can be a false positive. As Greg mentioned, the code is open source. You can check it for yourself. Right now, GCoin devs need to focus on new exchanges for trading GCoin. There are also many other things in the loop. There are things of much higher priority, so if you are waiting for an update on the wallet, you'll be waiting for a very long time.
