Interesting though I don't dabble in bitcoins so its a non issue for me. As always be careful of what you install

people who install stuff they dont trust or understand should not be surprised to get a trojan.


i don't care about bitcoins, so not an issue.

Indeed! I'm sure most are aware of the trojan Genieo that piggybacks on a fake "Flash Update." So, yes, be careful what you download and if you think Flash needs an update go to Adobe.com and download from their site. As Reagan once stated: "Trust but verify."
