I can't wait for the hacker to come to bitcoin, release virus signatures into the block chain and when the majority of consumers have disabled virus scanning of bitcoin they release a real virus into the network.

Too bad for you I don't run the bitcoin client with root permissions...

You have no idea on how virii work and just wanted to get rid of this alcohol-fueled idea brewing in your head, isn't it?

I reported it, but you know the mods here. This FUD shit shouldn't be posted in the newbies section.

All the more reason to keep one's wallet.dat on a separate machine, preferably running something other than Windows.

Of course if someone does it to Bitcoin many more people will do it to the precious SolidCoin you were already putting up propaganda about, so...

Enjoy your 5GB database commit log.

Antivirus software will start regarding wallet.dat as malware and delete it.
