Well i deleted all the files that came up from the report, should I be safe now? And what so I do now for a new wallet? I don't really trust electrum but I guess it had nothing to do with it. Is it safe to make a new wallet with that program?

Let me say this: Electrum is a free piece of software that is open source. You should only trust it as much as you trust a collective group of people on the internet (everyone using Electrum and vouching for it), OR your ability to understand python code.

I personally trust my ability to read/code in python, so I don't need to trust Thomas or anyone telling me "this is a good program." I can verify this by myself.

As for this incident. I hate to say it, but your computer was compromised, and currently there is no piece of software for wallet that can protect you from a computer with a trojan.

If you deleted all the files from the report, I would say "maybe" you're safe. A good hacker could make a new form of trojan not traceable by malware detection, and then put in a second "dumb" trojan so that you will scan for it, find it, delete it, then continue on normal feeling safe... but you're not.

The best thing to do is ALWAYS ASSUME YOUR COMPUTER IS COMPROMISED.

If you want to keep your coins safe, buy a USB memory stick with over 8 GB and install Ubuntu on it, and boot your Electrum from there.

Thank you.

You're welcome, I originally wrote that in Japanese for my friends here in Japan, and I translated into English so I'm sorry if it's hard to understand.

If you have any questions about the process feel free to ask.
