Thought there should be a dedicated thread for this in case there isn't.  So far I've found three altcoins infected with viruses.  Please add to the thread so that members of the community don't end up losing our wallets or suffering damages to our computers.


1) University Coin

I ran it without a conf and never got a virus warning, once I ran it with the conf file I got a virus warning.

2) Arkenstone

I get a virus warning about the "arkenstoned.exe" file.  Wallet seems to run fine without the infected file, but I don't think I'll be mining or collecting these either.

3) Bones Coin

Ran it before today and never got a virus warning.  For some reason today I got the warning.
