I got a buddy reporting strange activity following downloading this wallet. I would steer clear of this scam coin.
Its a
virus guys. When you launch the wallet a svchost.exe file gets copied into your user folder. You can confirm this by checking the date and time it is copied there. svchost.exe should never appear in any folder other than Win32.
Also, if you check the registry settings you may see svchost file being referenced, basically indicating it will be loaded upon bootup.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
If you see this you are infected.

More information about this can be searching svchost virus and clicking on the first link (Malware Removal Guide)
Confirmed this is a virus. Theres a lot of shit it sneaks by. Attacks SVCHost and got by my avast detection. I even ran it on virus total.com and it came up clean.
If infected, I suggest formatting. Use a program to wipe the disk and master boot records first. I suggest Killdisk.com they have a bootable DOS system u can load on your USB key and completely wipe hd and rewrite all data with 0s
I don't know if this got in the boot sector and I'm not willing to try. This was my first wallet I dl'd and didn't run it in my VM. Thankfully all of my wallets are in cold storage on a linux box, so go fuck yourself dev.
