So I fell foul to the Electrum phishing scam (it had been awhile since i used it and I'm not on form atm,, don't say it ) and downloaded and installed "version 4.0.0", and to no surprise within a jiffy lost about £100 in btc (all that was in the wallet) when trying to send it.
I've come to terms with my stupidity now and have consigned that wallet to the grave. I have removed Electrum from my laptop (Add/Removed programs) and deleted all files with electrum in the name I can find to try and be sure. I've run a Bitdefender scan of the whole computer which has turned up nothing, but I still feel a little worried I might have left something nasty on my machine.
I'm also a bit nervous about installing and setting up a new Electrum wallet (from the correct .org site!) just because like anyone I don't want to chuck my money away.
Any advise would be welcome.
Thanks
