There's no excuse for that guys.
Development team doesn't have to do nothing about that to be honest. It's up to them if they want to help in current situation.
NEVER download things without scanning them. Especially in this forum. There have been way too many topics with trojans.

Any malwares can be crypted then bypass all the antivirus.
You don't realize.... the attacker quoted the devs then he changed the link in the quote, so many people think that it was the original link, not everybody know that we can make a yahoo.com hyperlink with a redirection on google.com
After all, if the malware is crypted you cannot detect anything using antivirus, the real problem is why bitcointalk allow user to make a Yahoo.com hyperlink able to redirect on google.com ? they are even not able to create and secure a avatar function, dudes
But yes i agree, users are not 100% innocents.
