so even scanning with virus total would not have revealed this?

This one had a few detects in VirusTotal but I think one problem is that there always seem to be a few false-positive detections on all Qt wallets, so people are being trained to ignore VirusTotal results for new altcoins even when they are true-positive.

It's just downright crazy to run a program downloaded from this forum on a machine where your other important files (i.e. wallets) are stored. If you want to beat everyone else to jump on the latest coin or whatever, use a separate VM for each wallet until its code is shown to be trustworthy. And if for some reason it doesn't run in a VM, that's probably a good sign it's malware.
