This virus isn't new,it has existed since the early days of bitcoin on the darknet and other hack forums.
Virus or not,it's always a good practice to double check the bitcoin address you're sending coins to.
You can buy off that code from any hack forums,it's sold openly.
Use linux for bitcoin,makes your stuff secure by 80%

Yeah i've once got this shitty virus on my computer almost sending my bitcoin to Unknown adress but now it's already gone in my computer try check it with your Anti Virus/Malware

I think formatting computer would work, because I hate using Antivirus of it cuts a lot of ram, Though I have a 16GB ram But I hate using Antivirus :]

if you have trouble with the antivirus then choose another one. there are lots of them and only some of them are heavy (for whatever reason). for example i remember Norton always being a terrible AV and slowing everything down.
you can choose Eset Smart Security. it is good and it is light as a feather. it also has everything you need (AV, Firewall, anti fishing, anti malware,...) and checking my task manager it is only taking up about 70 MB of my ram!

I tried a lot with MalwareBytes but the virus gets alive after few minutes of delete.

try one of those rescue disk live CD thingies. you boot up from them and then they scan your PC and clean it

Yea it happens to me too, No matter what I do I could not get rid of the btc address after copying it.
It was from a btc mining software I will not post this software here I dont want others to get infected.
I think this virus is called Crypt0L0cker Virus.

The most important is we must install the anti virus is the best, I'm using avira and I the settings for an auto update, things are going well and never found any problems.

if their package doesn't include this virus they can't detect it, if it's an old virus it will be detected, new antivirus have heuristic to identify zero day virus, but still soem can be undetected because use stealth technology

i use malwarebyte to detect most of the threat the last version can even detect stealth malware, avira i remember lead to too many false positive when i used this and slow down the computer start-up

Not surprised that something like this occurs. Better be careful then. Instead of hitting the deposit button hastily, better double check the address first.

Sometimes, if the virus has integrated itself in your computer, MWB won't work anymore. You could probably clean format your PC (but do some backups first)

Yes, MWB cannot work with it and I have totally clean my PC. But the virus is so annoying that you cannot take the old backup too.
It just spreads its files to flashdrives and everywhere that if you even clean it still gets alive.

Yeah! The virus didn't attacked you yet. But becareful while you downlaod untrusted applications from online to your computer.
Avira, KasperSky or nothing can't help you, they are annoying virus they will be alive if you even clean them.
They are Rootkits which only can remove some specific virus remover like : Malwarebytes but they will be alive even if you delete them.

OSX, Linux, etc are more secure!!!

With a clean computer and an active AV on it you should be safer.

I would add firewall to that. Also learn and read about computer security because its better to avoid than repair/clean and risk after infection.

Linux is the way to go, Windows is just the biggest target for viruses and malware.

Nothing to do. Malware byte is most active and Rootkit killer but it still fails. The virus gets active just after removing permanently.
This is really a very annoying malware. I had found on other peoples computer too. The virus is spreading.

Windows OS is not safe! I also use Macbook and OSX and that can't get hacked by malware easily.
Linux/Ubuntu is also good & safe.

I never use Windows based OS's for Bitcoin transactions, because it is always the target for these hacks. I have a Tails bootup disk for another

computer and I use that to make transactions on the internet with Bitcoin. You always have to check if the destination address is correct... so it

is mostly newbies that will fall for that. Roll Eyes

..... Get Tails and a Trezor hardware wallet and you will be fine. Wink

Well with the time it takes for the traditional Blockchain to load and get itself up to date from a fresh start the ones who actually run the full node would triple check for most things.
But in the worst case if they are lucky they could double spend with a higher transaction fee seeing how slow the chain is right now basically RBF post 0.12.0 before that DS.

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/43872/how-to-apply-rbf-replace-by-fee

Still would be cautious doing this and learning how to do it when its at 0 Conf is not a really good feeling if you did get hit by a virus
Simply put double check always.

I had cleaned my PC with MalwareBytes and the Virus stopped working for 10-15 minutes but after that again started. This is bloody f**king shit and doesn't stops.
I'm really worried about this.

Most casual users of Bitcoin would rather not buy a Trezor hardware wallet AND INSTALL tails so that'd be out of the question for a lot of people. It's really just pushing people to be more inconvenienced when they could simply just double and triple check the trancation to confirm that it's sending to the wallet that they want it to be sent to.

This is rather simple on a platform like BitGo, which makes you put in the wallet you're sending it to and then you go through numerous what's your login, Authy info and then you see where you're sending - more of like a summary page.

Click confirm and you're done. This seems to eliminate any chance for this type of virus to do anything, as you should be able to notice it in action rather simply.

This virüs is still very viral, so you guys really gotta be paying attention for that. Especially, If you're using the computer that you do your bitcoin transactions. Really wonder what's next for the bitcoin stealing viruses.

This kind of Viruses came from Miners for PC. Like MinerGate, nichehash miner etc. Never download this.

Surprised that still works. On a desktop PC there is no sensible mining doable anymore. And handling funds should take place far away from any production mining site, known best practise.

Oh really? We should share this post if this is true, many will be victim if many will not aware with this virus. How to prevent this virus? And what is the ways to remove this virus in our pc? Is there any anti virus to prevent this malware? Please answer my question so that I will teach my friends who uses bitcoin.

- when my two deposit not come to the spected address i check my wallet so i found it badly in a different address.. then when i tried it again, tried to copy thr address from casino then paste it to deposit page yah its awesome that the addrees is not the one you copied.. if you copy only the adress when you paste it, will be difference but when i tried the copy the sentence with the btc address i paste it correctly..
i contact the support from one casino asking why is this happened? if this is a bug or hack
but they replied me that the browser i am using is affed with virus which affecting third parties blah blah.. so maybe the only way is to clean the browsers if everyday possible just do it.. just to prevent that situation..

So do you think that cleaning browsers everyday will prevent that malware? what if that malware or virus is from the casino? I have many friends here in forum using bitcoin everyday, but it seems they didn't encounter it before. So I think it is from site that you always browse.
