That's actually very sensible way for the scanner to operate. Afterall, this file _is_ brand new. Of course, in this case, you already knew it, so the warnings were just in the way. I'd expect in most cases that would be quite useful in shielding your system from new unknown threats.

FWIW, 0.4.7rc3, 0.5.6rc3, and 0.6.0.8rc3 are in-progress and will be available later tonight.

Can you use another site? That one resizes it (and has no way to view full size) and is popup-ad-infested.

I installed this: Now I get an error when trying to open bitcoin-qt..


Please view screen shot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/bitcoinerror.jpg/

I would test this if there was a mac version. 

Did you make sure it was reported?

Working in Gentoo.

Running in WinXP ok.

Thank's... I will give it a shot

while downloading, i got the following warning from my paranoid virus scanner avast home free edition

it wanted me to cancel the download

the warning means: this file is either very new or very rare..

after download when i started the file i got a similar message, and it wanted to sandbox the installer. i would bet the install would fail in a sandbox. i think its time to get a new virus scanner..

Any fix for this yet?

We're releasing 0.6.3 to fix two important issues (a serious potential denial-of-service attack, and to improve new-block propagation times for blocks containing lots of transactions).

If you can, please help do some sanity testing-- shutdown bitcoin, then download, install, and run 0.6.3 and let us know "works nicely for me running on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04" by posting a quick reply to this thread.

Release notes:

Bitcoin version 0.6.3rc1 is now available for download at:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.3/test/

This is a bug-fix release, with no new features.

CHANGE SUMMARY
==============

Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the
bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner
for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789)

Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to
speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating
blocks across the network faster.

Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get
stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was
hundreds of blocks long.

Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address
in the address book (Issue #1384).

Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcon-Qt on the Mac.

Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial
blockchain download.


Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release:
