It's very hard to track the user down unless his wallet has been posted online before, if not you're pretty much screwed.

please stop blaming OSs for security...

the USER is the problem...

I use Windows 7 x64 with MS. Security only as protection and many QT wallets...

no virus

I hate to see anyone lose their coins but you are essentially correct. 90 coins is a lot to leave in any computer. Bit coin is really easy to protect with just a little effort.

Tell us more about the incident.

Who are you?
How you collect the coins?
How long have you had these coins?
Any friend use the computer around the stealing time?

I think it is not possible to get it back now, I am so sorry for you.

I feel like all these stories require further investigation. As much as we all like to talk about backdoors and keyloggers, I have yet to hear ANYONE losing their accounts to keyloggers.

there has actually been some scamming alt coins which has a trojan in their wallet program to steal your btc wallet.dat..

thats why any altcoins i get go to coinex.pw and get converted to btc, and then only store btc long term away from exchanges


Hence why I have been really picky on what I download and run.

Most of the time I don't download or install anything.

I do not have any malware or key loggers on my PC according to my antivirus software. the wallet software was not even active when the transaction was supposedly executed - I launched it at around 12:45.

Windows antivirus softwares are not complete protection against malware. I've seen so many cases when antivirus software just can't see malware and block it. I administer around 500 computers, know what I'm talkig about.

Linux is the only way for fairly secure computing.

Yes. The risk you run is that anti virus software had to be updated and this only happens after the threat is identified and analyzed. Meanwhile the virus is spreading unimpeded.
