I have been similar situation. some chaptcha sites writ that they found dublicate IP or they wrote they add me as scamr. and why? they block my IP. I talk about sites which pays 1000 or more.. sometimes, they wrote that 1000 satoshi sent your account, after that I chack my account and there not any satoshis. it seems, there are scammers as a captcha sites or there are scammer who changes the wallet address. who was in this situation?
you will get after claiming in faucet to check the address where it sended the bitcoin and you can check is that the same address of yours you have copied earlier or not. If it is changing that its better you install good antivirus and search for malware.

I have used to copy and paste my wallet address every time.. But there are this problem. I have so strong antivirus, total viewer 360 , it write me which sites or files are dangerous. it newer install virus programs.. I think, in captcha sites are scammers.. can you tell me how increase my satoshis. I want to start without spending money. if you have reliable captcha sites send me reffelers links

I have to look out for this they are trying to steal your information and maybe your Bitcoins from you. Always keep check of what you are doing because there is always a chance that you will get a virus.

Malware is so annoying nowdays, also with windows 10, you can get it from everywhere without any protection. Many anti-virus programs also can alert you about it.

Most alt coin wallets have some sort of virus in it. Go to altcoin discussion and you wil find a thread which highlights all the coins with viruses and exposed them with code refernces



Well, an altcoin paper wallet cannot have a virus in it. Undecided
But not all users use paper wallets. Actually, not all even knows of paper wallets.
The point here is that viruses/malwares/infections are really easy to get without knowing, unless we have the proper tools and softwares for it.

it happened to me about a hour ago but heres a guide on how to get rid of it if it is on your pc
10
Remove the malware
Finally remove it from your computer:
1.
Start Windows Task Manager and terminate the Chrome32.exe or
AcroRd32.exe process!
2.
Go to %appdata% in your file browser.
3.
Delete AppData/Roaming/Adobe (x86) folder.
4.
Delete AppData/Local/Google (x86) folder.
If you don't terminate the malware manually, as it is described
in the first point you can't delete one of the folder.
If you've deleted the Adobe folder it won't start again on your
computer, so you're good, but to completly remove it you have to
do one more thing:

Start the Registry Editor (regedit) and delete our software from
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ru
n"
If you don't find it, check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER


hope it helps this malware is being sold for $1.10 in bitcoin

This virus is just easier to bypass if you just encrypt your clipboard. Its a clipboard virus so if anything tries to modify it, it will be signalled as a modified encryption cant be decrypted after.

There are many tools that can help you with that, so you will be perfectly protected agains all kinds of clipboard attacks.

If you can afford it, get two pc. I have with myself one with a lower spec which is connected to the internet all the time and i even use it for installing untrusted new software. The other one is basically most of the time offline and no other software installed in it except browsers, together with my hot wallet


you don't need to spend that much in order to have a secure environment that you can safely install and use a bitcoin wallet.
all you need is a USB disk which is super cheep , and linux that you can download free (like Ubuntu).

1) make persistent live linux on the USB disk
2) change a couple of settings so that it would never connect to network.
3) install your favorite bitcoin wallet

**) don't forget to check the signature of both linux and bitcoin wallet

Just check the address after you pasted it, and you would be fine.  Wink I have 1 FREE anti-virus software package and 1 Full commercial version installed on one computer, and I have had no problems at all so far. < Avast & Kaspersky > Luckily these two has not clashed, because they usually do.

Keep some honey traps around to trigger flags when possible hacks are being done on you. When they are empty and you have not done that, you know you are compromised.

Chrome is the malware.


it seems logical ...  Grin

You made me doublecheck Smiley
As usual, the malware seems to be using names quite similar with known software.
The normal browser is chrome.exe, not chrome32.
I guess that the same story goes to acrobat reader too, but since I don't use it I cannot check.


But really, the ones who run windoze with no antivirus on... they just ask for it.
That's very clever. Since Chrome spawns multiple instances of itself, it can be very easy to disguise a process with the same name, nobody will be any wiser.

it is safer to store your coins on a hardware wallet:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/overview-bitcoin-hardware-wallets-secure-your-coins-899253

Doesn't this malware work even if you use a Trezor for example? I guess that people should be always careful and double check. MyTrezor Web wallet works in the browser as well.

The truth of the matter is that everybody should be double checking are addresses changed. If anybody  can have a copy of this malware for a $1, this means that this malware can become very widespread.

Not to mention that you have to trust the hardware manufacturer and the seller and probably other middle-mans.
