Good that thing you asked, instead of jumping to a conclusion right away! (It was done that way before actually.)
And no, this subject has allready come about, and it has been investigated and debunked:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12307504Mainly there is the Bitcoinminer part build in (remember the false alerts that minerD gave?) that triggers some scanner heuristics (analytic prediction part). Also the former used IRC IP announcement part is something that can trigger it. The last one could trigger a 'trojan' suspection alert, but mainly due to ultra sensitive scanner heuristics technology.
This 'dead' IRC-IP announcing code should be removed in an upcoming update, as it is not used anymore. And then that trigger would be gone too. But in essence there is no harm there and certainly it is all but a 'trojan'. That is the software that alerts it to blame, really.
Now again, this debunks most, except those of McAfee, so, I went to their website and started to search:
http://www.mcafee.com/apps/search/default.aspx?q=Artemis%21D3513FD20A9ENo results found for the given search criteria.
Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.
Sorry McAfee? Or is it again an engine that is outdated?
In some way or another I consider McAfee a kind of annoyance ware myself. Because it gets installed with every crapy piece of software on Windows, disturbing every other software allready on the machine. (Well, when I still used Windows that is...)
Same goes for terms like: "potentially unsafe" used by ESET-NOD32. But on the other hand, that is heuristics trying to guess at numbers and figures. So what should be a good term. Or maybe they should investigate after that?
It is potentially unsafe to cross the street, or to eat food, or drink fluids, but I do not have a better description either...
Then the ViRobot from
http://www.globalhauri.com/ again, went there, and searched for the one that the virustotal site named. And the result? Can you guess? Yep!
Not Found Data!
The only reason I can think of that VirusTotal comes with this useless, and wrong, data is that they use outdated online scanners. And that is not them to blame, but the companies that service their online scanners to them. Hope that this can be considered debunked, again. Had tested it myself in Windows XP running in VirtualBox, because I use GNU-Linux. And also WINE had a go at it. While I have several security software running. Also watched typical folders for suspicious behaviour etc. etc.
But in the end it is you who decides to use a certain piece of software or not.
Slothcoin is clean and good to go though!
