Hello DarkCoin Thread,
I have a question to ask, and I am hoping someone can help.
First I'd like to say I have always liked the development of DarkCoin, but I never got into it fully.
Never downloaded any miners, nor any wallets,never even visited the block explorer.
I have a major issue, that I think should be brought to the attention of some people.
I have F-Secure on my computer, and it just found this backdoor DarkCoin miner on my computer.
Just wondering what is taking place here?
I have obviously removed it but just wondering how much DRK coin I mined for someone as I have no idea how it got on my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

That really depends on the source where you grabbed it from.
I remember an optimized miner by girino that had a backdoor that had an auto-switch hardcoded into it (closed source), where it would switch and mine for him for a bit every hour, something like 2%... He never publicly released this info until he was "caught" and got flamed for it. Then he tried to cover his tracks by releasing the code and inviting people to "feel free to remove the optional code". What a douche...
Have you used other miners with this same anti-virus setup?
EDIT: Actually, IIRC, that was the first optimized X11 miner I ever used. And he only "released" it because it was retro-engineered. This second part I'm not quite certain is accurate, but something very very close to this I distinctly remember.
