Hi guys, as you may know I run the Netcoin Forum. We had a guy PM some of the members regarding "netcoin messenger" which allows you to chat to each other via your wallet addy or some non-sense.

Anyway, 1 of my friends downloaded the thing and then warned me that it was malicious. It messed up his entire PC and they had to re-install to fix it.

Anyway today he loads up his wallet and the coins vanish soon as it syncs. Not just his Netcoins but ALL his coins.

Did he not have them encrypted? This is why I don't bother with most alts, and if I did I would have all the wallets on a separate computer.

Yes he had them all encrypted. And yeah you should I guess, I mean BTC has had it's problems regarding this in it's life. It isn't immune, is it?
