You checked the sha256 sum of bitcoin-0.9.3-win64-setup.exe ?

If so, what sha256 sum your Bitcoin-qt.exe has. Just curious if the hosted file on bitcoin.org/en/download could be with malware at the time when you downloaded it...

I checked the timestamps on the file I downloaded and when the transaction took place.  It appears that they were stolen a day prior to the upgrade.   I just didn't see the transaction until I caught up with the blockchain.

Test the latest backup since it may not have been generated yet back in 2012

Same results. Sad

It sounds like your backup is either too old or is corrupted; try running "bitcoin-qt -salvagewallet" and if that fails see if you can get anything from pywallet (on both the current and backup wallets). Don't forget to keep separate copies of the original and the backup though, and check to see if there are any other recent backups that could contain the private key.

What's the likelyhood of an upgrade failing, corrupting my wallet and transferring all the coins to another address?  What happens during an upgrade exactly?  Is this even a possibility that IF something did go wrong the coins are still there in that final address for which I don't have the private keys for?

I have a backup wallet.dat going back to 2012.  When I put it in the Bitcoin folder the client starts re-indexing the blocks.  I am waiting for that to finish.

What exactly happens to a wallet.dat during the upgrade?  Is that possible that my coins are stuck in limbo?

Coins lost after upgrade to 0.9.3

Last night decided to upgrade the client. Saw reddit post about it. Linking directly to the bitcointalk.org thread.

    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=799967.0

I grabbed bitcoin-0.9.3-win64-setup.exe 27-Sep-2014 07:33 12224864.

After it crashed during the install it decided to re-index the blocks. It finished this morning and now all my coins are gone. I am speechless. Not even sure where to start.

I was just about to get a Trezor today. Let this be a lesson to others never to procrastinate and take measure to secure your coins. I assume I have a malware on my PC. Game over.

Status: 193 confirmations Date: 9/27/2014 02:23 To: 17ns8ggpV2SrUXvZwVkCPcGTGNjPUPSjL Debit: -12.3380244 BTC Transaction fee: -0.0003 BTC Net amount: -12.3383244 BTC Transaction ID: f9b0e5f573b410225d3519759263c12e859d4728d9ebfda0edbe03b3dcd96c90

EDIT: I am not blaming the upgrade for the lost coins. Just trying to provide as much information as possible that lead to the coins disappearance.

EDIT2: Adding a bounty for anyone who can help me understand and recover the coins if they are truly due to some weird upgrade bug/crash. 1BTC as a reward.

In order for someone to transfer out, the passphrase would be needed in order to do that, correct?  I had one but I also found a backup directory with one of my wallet.dat files dating back to 9/16/2011.  Is there any way to tell if it's been encrypted?

Should I just consider myself a malware victim or could something possibly happened during the update?

I downloaded bitcoin-0.9.3-win64-setup.exe 27-Sep-2014 07:33 12224864.  Shutdown the client and ran the update.  It crashed and upon the restarting the upgrade started to rebuild the chain.  I was a couple of weeks behind as well.  Just checked and my coins are gone.  I am not even sure where to start.  The client version shows 0.8.6-beta.  If anyone's willing to help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
