Maybe creating some sort of bot that posts a warning until the topic is deleted may be a good idea. The reason I suggest this is because I saw that two users downloaded the wallet and asked questions about it in the thread after downloading. I am not sure if anyone contacted them or not after the thread was deleted, though I had to tell them/give them some tips to be safe if they were to have downloaded it. A solution should definitely be created to address this I think. I am happy to also monitor this thread and post warnings as soon as possible as they come by until a solution is created.

Thats not so easy as you think and write , because first the Fake Ann and the Malware link must be detected manually and integrated into the Bot.
And here is the next problem as they changing so often there Fake Github Links for the download and also the Thread title.
Before a bot is posting a warning (The idea is great dont understand me wrong) it is better to delete the thread instant.
For posting a warning in this kind of Threads there for we are here and thank you for have done it .

Maybe a suggestion in Meta to enable some sort of "moderator review" with some sort of parameters (so that not all new threads have to be reviewed) that is open not just to moderators, but also to white-listed or established members like yourself who are actively watching these threads may be a good idea to combat the problem. The problem being that new members/inexperienced members are quick to try and get in on new coins at the moment they are announced, download the wallet, and then get infected...all before anyone who is knowledgeable enough discovers the thread is fake and the wallet is infected.

The review period could be a 24 hour/X time "hold" on the topic being published, where only available for legendary members (or some sort of membergroup) to be able to see so that the validity of the thread can be reviewed before the public sees it. To reduce the amount of threads caught in review, it can limit strictly to newbie members or also junior members. As it seems these are the ones who are mostly posting malicious content. Copper members excluded from review (as people who pay for the rights of Copper are less likely to waste it on an attempt to spread malware, I would assume) as are Full member and above (for a similar reason).
