Can you please change your topic, it's a bit inflammatory.

What you're seeing is virus false alarms because the virus detection software on your computer checks for short (e.g. 16 bytes) 'signatures' and not the viruses themselves, and people have put some of these signatures in transactions. The AV software correctly ignores the blockchain itself but is falsely triggered in some of the leveldb database files. You should configure your AV to ignore the bitcoin directory.

There is no risk to your system here.

thanks for the information!

why is it allowed to put such f..king signatures into transactions, so into the blockchain?

average joe must fear to have multiple viruses on his system downloaded by the bitcoin-network!

could this be done with the new 0.9.0-bitcoin-core?
