Topic: My BitCoins Being Hacked? (Read 1600 times)
Kaspersky is great. Look for the free promotions on newegg. $50 with a $50 mail in rebate. If you use shoprunner its completely free.
I occasionally get a false positive for cgminer. Very frustrating.
Install malware byets and any antivirus (kaspersky or some other)
First Step:Delete Norton Antivirus
Second Step: Be thankful you deleted Nortan Anti Virus!
Second Step: Be thankful you deleted Nortan Anti Virus!
Third step: Install some other antivirus! (Eset Smart Security is very good).

Just started Bit Coining today with QT Bitcoin, same thing happened to me, I'm going to ignore it as the program is currently trying to sync.
Wasn't the Zeus virus part of a kit sold as a hacking kit recently I seem to recall?

Can someone with more than one post confirm this?
I got the same thing from Norton today, both from running Bitcoin QT and Litecoin QT.
Network traffic from checkip.dyndns.org matches the signature of a known attack.
I've etablished from this thread that there is no threat, but why is this occuring? I have been running Norton alongside QT for over a month and this only occured for the first time today.

same thing just happened to me when I loaded up the litecoin qt, and I've been using the qt + Norton for a few months.
Norton flagged checkip.dyndns.org as high risk worm.

If you have been infected with this then I would be very wary to access any banking/bitcoin related stuff on that machine until you reformat and reinstall.

shit.
Sounds like you got a virus there with trojan.zbot. Best not to run bitcoin on that comp until it has been thoroughly cleaned by someone who knows what they are doing, or perhaps even format the comp and clean install.

Norton AntiVirus is "Blocking a hacking/malicious website intrusion attempt" whenever opening BitCoin-QT.
Info:
Network traffic from checkip.dyndns.org/ matches the signature of a known attack. The attack was resulted from \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME1\PROGRAM FILES\BITCOIN\BITCOIN-QT.EXE.
I have moved my 1.766 BitCoins to another location....is this a virus something to worry about?
Please only reply with facts and not speculation of what this might be.
Update:
Scanned Computer [FULL SCAN] and it was clean.
Each time BitCoin-Qt is opened, the message pops up still!

Take off Norton it always gives fake alerts just because some programs behave similar to viruses and trojans, download Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast.
are you sure you´ve downloaded the client from the correct site?
Nortan antivirus sucks though, really just delete it.
Just delete Norton, worth your while, less pop ups. If you really want an antivirus Avira Free is my favorite choice.
