I went to the bitcoincash.org website and used their links to download wallets like ElectronCash. Norton is recognizing them as viruses. Are they really viruses or is my antivirus scanner just acting dumb?
Please note: I clicked the electroncash site from bitcoincash.org so there is no way I was directed to a false site.
So far I told my virus scanner to recognize this program as safe but I will not install it until I get some direction here.
That was probably a false positive on Norton's side. In my case my antivirus doesn't detect it as a virus, so I can say that it is safe to use assuming that you really downloaded electron cash wallet on official link. For now just turn off your antivirus before using bitcoincash wallet. You can also add it on exclusion list of your antivirus. Please note: I clicked the electroncash site from bitcoincash.org so there is no way I was directed to a false site.
So far I told my virus scanner to recognize this program as safe but I will not install it until I get some direction here.
