Regarding the virus, how would one double check that I was not victim to this attack. **nervous**
Generate the new addresses on your cold system first, and then verify that the addresses you generate on the hot watch-only system match the addresses in the cold system.
Do not get scared if they don't match at first! Look at the whole list and address number! They won't be synced.
Generating addresses on the cold rig matched all the generated addresses on the broadcast wallet so I guess I'm good. Thanks for the heads up.
By "Do not get scared if they don't match at first!" do you just mean don't that I shouldn't be worried if I haven't generated the same addresses on the cold system as on the broadcast system? Eg I've generated a few on the cold rig, but 50 on broadcast rig. That is they should still be in generated in same order once generated.
