Am I the only one getting a virus alert from the "arkenstoned.exe" file?
Bitdefender antivirus flags it, and automatically deletes it. Not sure what to make of it.


I get the same thing too.  Avast says it's infected with Win32:Malware-gen.  It just deletes the infected "arkenstoned.exe" file, and the wallet seems to run fine without it.

Anyone have any suggestions as to whether or not it's worthwhile to mine a coin who's developers added a virus into the package?  I know just like University Coin this is one I won't touch.


Cheesy No virus into the package. Almost all coins have a problem with antivirus programs.


Have to disagree with you big time on that one.  I've got 191  wallets installed on my computer, Arkenstone is one of only 3 I've had virus warnings for.  There's no reason for a false positive.  I'm not a super expert or anything like that, but I can't think of why a cryptocoin would set off a virus flag unless it's infected.
