Ummmm WTF ? Why so many hits instead of just the usual 2 from the built-in bitcoin miner if this is just a direct clone of Litecoin....

Also the dev account was created in 2011 with a handful of posts in all those years + the users password was recently reset....... VERY IFFY !
Do you think it's some kind of malware? I scanned it using virustotal before I initially ran it and it seemed to be fine.
Yes I do in fact, did you scan the .rar file or the actual .exe ? Or are you just trusting what the dev posted with his virus check ?
The above scan is from the actual 9000coin.exe file...
These are the worrying ones, if you google what they are I would be deleting the wallet & roaming data & doing a full system + rootkit scan.

its a fucking crypted trojan im sure.
I also just done a VirusTotal scan just out of curiosity & I would reccomend to stay far away from this !
With that many warnings and files named like those I would be running ! keyloggers, remote accesss, automatic background downloads of more malware & viruses..... NO THANKS !
Wow.
Artemis is the "Active Protection" component of McAfee's Security Center which uses a combination of signature and behavior analysis to check with McAfee servers in real-time to identify possible new malware threats. Artemis is not the name of an actual virus, but an alert displayed by McAfee when it thinks it may have found a new virus. These detected files may or may not be malicious.
Its heuristics guys; settle down christ. People like you are ruining Cryptocurrency. People entering without much in the way of computer skills are scaring off the newcomers en masse.
You know that there are runtime and scantime fully undetectable trojans. They crypt the trojans with specific tools. At first we had only 2 detections . Now we have more with same file. So that means the anti virus scan tools got updated and maybe the wallet.exe is dangerous !
Sure do. Theres two with 'Artemis' as I described above, two with UnwantedProgram/Nuisance program qualifying as BitcoinMiner-style detection, two with BitcoinMiner and an unknown, which lo and behold is more than likely using a BitcoinMiner signature. I'm guessing this program is related to Bitcoin somehow
If I were to write a trojan or something that stole private keys; just a bit of C, threw it in the wallet and compiled today - it would not show up as a virus/malware. Antivirus companies lag behind the real world, as they need people to submit examples of viruses before they can agree on a common 'signature' which is then used to detect code in future.
Now stfu and stop scaremongering.
LMFAO are you serious barry ? can you not see the tell tail signs in all aspects of this ? Holy fuck !
The "DEV" registered in 2011, it took him 2 years to post anything & his first post was "Now I am registered" .... OK but I thought he was already registered 2 years ago with the same account he posted with lol
Next the "DEV" has posted 14 times in a matter of 3 years with all different kinds of things that don't quite add up to a standard personality of someone talking, this guy seems like he has multiple personalities by the way he talks in his posts.
Next he randomly comes back and releases a "CLONE" of a very old Litecoin base coin that still has heaps of Vulnerabilities.... and expects people to mine ? I think he means he want's people to open the wallet/file
He has also reset his password in his profile if you go have a look, another tell tail sign right there unless this guy has a very bad memory, I'm surprised how he copy and pasted a coin lol yet alone remember his password lol
If you ever watched how these kinds of scams played out back when it was a thing & nobody knew about how they worked then you would know this is a sure sign of one instead of shooting your mouth off at others for having an opinion, here is another guy (ME) that is stating his opinion just like everyone does when they post on this forum, if nobody posted then nobody would talk.
By all means mine this coin, good luck with getting it on an exchange yet alone keeping your other altcoin funds, it might be encrypted but they will get it lol
2 weeks ago computers were infected from a new virus that wasn't detectable through antivirus software or scans until the detection was update after users started reporting a foul, so what is the difference with an altcoin ?
Here is an example why you are so defensive of the coin
"Oh a coin, lets mine it !, oh I forgot to virus scan it but I own the majority of coins... I'll back it up and say its a clean wallet & they are just false positives"
