  Hello List


   i notice link :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=574691.0

....................

notice remarks :
  "Just tell your antivirus program to ignore the folder 
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin"

"This is a huge mistake! "

"Just imagine: a unknown virus download some viruses to this directory. 
The folder is ignore by the virus scanner, so _valid_ viruses are not 
recognized, they can do whatever they want to do."

"And you do not realize that your wallet is stolen."

"So the devs sould somehow handle this!"

Elbandi

"The 'devs' can't handle this as the signatures are part of the 
blockchain. And they're there to stay."
