Hey, would anyone happen to have the malware infested version of the wallet still available?
Or links to where they were downloaded from?
The F-Secure malware lab is keen to have samples of these fake wallets as soon as possible.
Altcoin.Center and F-Secure are doing co-operation in the field of fighting the fake wallet problem which is obviously getting worse.
Having samples of any new findings would be very valuable - indeed so valuable, that we'll reward every sample of a previously unknown / undetected malware wallet with a free license of F-Secure Safe. Please: if you have access to the infected CannabisCoin wallet or a link where to download it, contact me ASAP so I can forward the sample to F-Secure and send the first one to act his or her free license!

Stop this publicity with all this nonsense, a True anti-keylogger for qt wallet:
Keyscambler Tools The best and free antivirus specialized in the kind of malware that you can encounter here:
AviraAdd to this the free and best firewall comodo.
or an advanced security: comodo internet security (with HIPS paranoid mode for expert)
It's fully useless to buy your antivirus for it. Even Free avira is better, i work the defensive and offensive security and i know what i'm talking about. The hackers that you can encounter here are using the same method everywhere, a keylogger and a trojan or they add some code in the wallet. The experts can't read in the futur at the moment and their methods of detection need to be improved... the hackers can crypt their malwares when they want to do this so it's not a problem if you share the malware with f-secure (the dude here was probably hacked by another way than a infected version of cannabiscoin qt)
The antivirus will be always bullshit since hackers are working together when antivirus companies are working separately, and anyway we all need high end computer to be able to support a true protection, at the moment it's not the case, add to this the bad coordination between antivirus companies and you understand why they suck.
Most hacks seem to be from malware, so simple answer is have a dedicated clean wallet PC or VM that you don't install anything else on, password it up and set the firewall to just allow the ports the wallets need, e.g. port 39401 for CANN. And always encrypt the wallets of course (and when new coins come out don't install the wallets on the PC until you know the dev is ok).
Never use a VM for qt wallet on your main computer, if your main computer is infected so the hacker can gain the access to VM and steal your wallet.
Use your qt wallet on your main computer, and all the rest on your VM.
