It's not exactly a very elaborate attempt to trick users into downloading their software. Just gotta hope that people don't actually fall for it.

We decided to provide the cryptocurrency community with a program that will help them protect their money and if used correctly profit from trading their respectable coins.
Our program uses all the trading websites and looks at what people have been selling and buying coins for then using our system of complicated algorithms predicts where the price will then go. A new ground breaking feature that we added is it now also predicts if cryptocurrency current events will have an impact on price.



They are trying to trick people into downloading these programs claiming they are advanced prediction software but they are actually win trojans and java backdoors and likely to steal users wallets/login infomation  Angry
