Sorry I don't use widgets because they are not safe ,I prefer blockfolio or others ,who knows that might be a spyware integrated inside the widget setup and they can steal your keys ,safety matters the most when you are into cryptocurrency ,I have many crypto wallets running on my pc and I never even use the pc for browsing just to be on safer side
Thanks for concerning!
As long as you feel unsafe, it is true not to use any software that you don't feel safe even though they are WALLETS or softwares not related to blockchain at all like Chrome extensions, text editors, any small apps for convenience etc. They, every apps, have 'potential' problems indeed.
Anyway, for whom concerning such things please see follow:
1. BitTab does not ask anything about your things at all. We don't require sign-up, sign-in, UAC(admin privilege), Windows Service or anything personal.
2. We put checksum on our website for users to compare if needed.
3. We are on Avast Whitelisting Program.
4. We are scanned and confirmed clean by VirusTotal with 60+ global anti-viruses including Avast, AVG, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Windows Defender, Avira, V3 and so on.
5. We don't ask transaction or payment procedure through software.
6. In the original source code, BitTab only read-write 'Program Files\BitTab' and 'My Documents\BitTab'.
We agree that there are several potential things to be considered like hacking, reverse-engineering our app then re-upload to our server. So, if you are running crypto wallets on your PC (if so, it is heavily recommended that the PC is not for use daily like browsing, doing office work etc - everything can be harmful) we understand your worry.
PLUS, unlike iOS, if you are using Androids, any third party apps(even blockfolio but not meaning it really is) have potential security problems that each app can infiltrate, manipulate and extract private info across apps.
If any technical things that you want to ask, please feel free to ask us!
I have been looking for a safe widget for Windows for a long time. You could post here or send personal messages links confirming all of the above.
I think it’s better to publish in the thread so that others have no questions left. In general, I like the declared functionality.
