How do you determine a copied ANN topic? Any criteria? Also for the wallet, is there a URL format we should look for to know if it's just a malware?

There are so many exploits now it can be quite hard to keep up, from the lowest leve BIOS to the all too common webpage malware types of 'apps', the Crypto world and its users are of a prime target as it is after all, money.
If you should have you desktops wallet / private keys and so on, on your mail (internet connected machine) then do make sure to only install software, say mining scripts and so on from the official sources. Of course we, in this very thread, have learnt of exploits even from he get go, dev aware or not.
Then the 'anti-virus' companies heuristics cannot recognise some legitimate software, and mark them as a threat / won't allow to run / quarantine.
Knowledge is power.
Be safe out there.

Information so useful that we can secure the wallet from the virus that will cause a big problem later therefore should be able to find the right solution to prevent it by making good security.

Some guy lost $150,000 of Bitcoins (50 BTC) a couple days ago trying to get access to his Bitcoin Cash.
He downloaded a malware "wallet" from an unknown site, but after opening the .exe file found his Bitcoin had all been stolen.
Let this be a reminder to all that you should be very careful about clicking links, downloading/installing programs, etc. related to cryptocurrencies!

hi guys, I have a problem, I have just log my MyEtherWallet wallet private key into a fake MyEtherWallet site. I just dont know what to do. Is there any way to change the private key? The ETH wallet has no coins anyway, but soon it will have (from bounties). Please advice me what to do?
Create a new wallet and try to redirect the payment to your new wallet (contact dev team that will send the payment for bounties) I guess this is only possible way

Thank you for listing all of this here. This post actually saved my money twice(!) today, as some guys tried to replace download links in the discussion on the other forums.

Same question also i want to ask and i need reply. which one apps i mean software should i use for scan my computer? now i am using avast a free antivirus downloaded from internet . is it work properly or i have to buy premium service? someone clear it to me.thanks in advanced.
i use avast free. works fine but the paid version has more features that may be beneficial for noobs but i have no use for them.
but the real trick to avoiding virus/trojans is to update your os and programs regularly, stay off shady sites and not download cracked software.
only download from the authors site when you can. learn how md5/sha hashes work and verify your downloads with it, especially wallets.
dont download wallets for crapcoins willy nilly many have trojans. if you must use a virtual pc and even then be careful.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine
it allows you run run software so it cannot interact with the real pc its running on, or other vms on the same machine. theory is any malware is contained in just that the virtual machine.
you can run many vms on one real pc. so you run one wallet per vm and if one is malware it cannot affect the other stuff on the other vms. so basically is a jail malware cannot escape from.
you dedicate a vm to one altcoin wallet and run nothing else in that vm (except antivirus and a browser to get the wallet). so malware has nothing to steal/compromise. of course that wallet may be able to steal your coins from itself, but it cant steal coins from wallets running on other vms. ie it does not prevent trojans from running but it contains the damage. and you never enter sensitive info or enter sensitive sites on that vm (like no visiting exchange sites/email accounts) so it cannot collect passwords or anything. you use a regular machine for exchanges/email/whatever, or even a vm set up for just email/exchanges.
however.. its still not 100% perfect depending on how you set up it there can still be risks. but in general its quit safe.
there are many vms that are free. you can run windows and *nix on vms.
Thank you boss for your kind information. Just bookmarked the site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine and try to read them carefully.also you described it nicely.will try to use it and review here about it.best regards
