I think it must be about potential malware. I used android version oıf electron cash with no problem. Sent my cash to exchange. You need to have better spyware killer on your computer I guess.

Hello
I've went through the messages here but I didn't find my case..
So, what I did is installed the (I think) legit Electron Cash software from https://electroncash.org/
I put in my private BTC paper wallet key in the "sweep" menu.. and nothing much happened in Electron Cash
But a few seconds maybe a minute later I suddenly saw in the Electrum "watching only" wallet that my BTC balance changed to 0!!
A transaction had been done to an unknown (to me) BTC address.
Can anyone explain to me what had happened?  Huh
Like I said, I'm pretty sure I installed the correct Electron Cash software, so it shouldn't have stolen anything.
regards
Mike

Here on Bitcoinforum is a whole section with many electron threads. Maybe you can find help there.

Did you check your balance from an online block explorer.

Try to check your balance from blockchain.info.

yes, I did check it. The balance is zero now Sad


There is nothing to do. I didn't use Electron Cash so I don't have any information but my friend used it without any problems.

I think there is a virus on your computer which stole your coins.

so, you think it's not an electron cash problem, but my computer has been compromised?
