Just to update, I have Intego Internet Security on my MBP and it's not said a word about any viruses in the BTC chainstate!

Hi, this has happened to me this morning. Also, searching the virus names, they appear to be mainly old Windows viruses and I'm on a mac. A couple did not show any results however. The names are - 10 past 3, Warrior-1024, Agiplan-1536, Ping-Pong (Italian), Syslock, Plastique-521, December 24th, BV:Akuma-A, and PS/MPC-Greetings-1118 Obviously if I send those files to quarantine it stops functioning as the database then is not complete. On a rescan of just the Bitcoin folder the December 24th infection did not reappear! Any way to clean it up?

Any thoughts?

Cheers. Undecided

Ya I posted about this a few days back. Several other people have posted about it too. My avast antivirus picked up the following infections:
PS/MPC-Greetings-1118 (in blk00129.dat)
Aqiplan-1536 (In .dat, .sst, .log)
10 past 3 (In .dat, .sst, .log)
BV:Akuma-A (In .dat, .sst, .log)
Plastique-521 (In .sst, .log)

I'm fairly sure it can't execute anything. I think its just a very interesting game. I'm reindexing my blocks now. but I haven't exactly decided to decrypt my wallet either.

Seems like someone has inserted a virus signature in the BTC blockchain.
I do not think it can execute or do anything but I am waiting for some confirmation before unlocking my wallet.
Is this some kind of PoC showing virus can be inserted into BTC blockchain ?

Any body else with this problem ?
