Probably has not a lot to do with your choice of bitcoin/bitcoin cash wallet... and a lot to do with keyloggers/malware etc... 
Whatever the cause, it is a good example of why people suggest moving BTC off of any private keys BEFORE attempting to claim the BCH or other fork coins from them... exposing your private key to an online environment puts coins at risk.

Do I understand correctly that in your opinion it was not the software that I used, but that someone monitored and copied my private key and initiated the stealing transaction outside from my computer? Would the details of the transfer on Blockchain help to diagnose what actually happened?
what version of electrum are you using? electrum not electron cash. the version number is listed in the window title and can also be ascertained via the help menu > about.
electrum version 2.8.3 (portable)
electron cash version 2.9.3
does this matter?
Did you follow correctly the guide from electrum check it here https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt
If you follow carefully your bitcoin is in safe and you will split and get your bitcoin cash succesfully.. Let me ask if your bitcoin was save before the fork of bitcoin cash? If not you can't get any bitcoin cash..

hi
no, unfortunately I did not follow the guide.. I just sweeped in electron cash.. but if the software I was using is legit, why did I lose BTC (not BCH)?
Hello
I've went through the messages here but I didn't find my case..
So, what I did is installed the (I think) legit Electron Cash software from https://electroncash.org/
I put in my private BTC paper wallet key in the "sweep" menu.. and nothing much happened in Electron Cash
But a few seconds maybe a minute later I suddenly saw in the Electrum "watching only" wallet that my BTC balance changed to 0!!
A transaction had been done to an unknown (to me) BTC address.
Can anyone explain to me what had happened? Huh
Like I said, I'm pretty sure I installed the correct Electron Cash software, so it shouldn't have stolen anything.
regards
Mike

I would actually still be very careful using electron cash. I saw one guy importing his private keys into electron cash and as soon the keys got imported the coins were send to addresses that weren't his. Electrum stated that the version isn't 100% stable yet so be cautious.
was the electron cash software legit or was it malware that behaved in such a way? I think I had the same problem, but my electron cash was downloaded from the correct site. so why did the BTC go to an unknown address?
Did you check your balance from an online block explorer.
Try to check your balance from blockchain.info.
Try to check your balance from blockchain.info.
yes, I did check it. The balance is zero now
There is nothing to do. I didn't use Electron Cash so I don't have any information but my friend used it without any problems.
I think there is a virus on your computer which stole your coins.
so, you think it's not an electron cash problem, but my computer has been compromised?
