[polutoy]

Нello,

Can you please say to me what is the problem and how can I fix it. I try with download from github, from your official site. Unsigned version, zip file, and notihing still says to me that it have virus.

Hi @polutoy
Please confirm that you did indeed go to https://pivx.org/wallet to download our wallet release

Some antiviruses mark crypto wallets as false positives due to the mining code inside the wallet program, Please also provide a screenshot.

This is screenshot of my antivirus program. Old version works with no problem , but this....

Its likely a false positive, if you downloaded the pivx wallet file from https://pivx.org/wallet then you will have no issues.

You can verify by also uploading it to virustotal.com and you should see it as a false positive

I try to download it from here, I try and to download from git hub. From both places says the same. I have other wallets download from git hub and there is no problem... I have no problem with old version of wallet and it works great, but with this new... I can not turn off my antivirus...other advices?

@polutoy

Thank you for getting back to me, As you can see here is a virus scan taken for our pivx4.1.1 wallet from the link https://pivx.org/wallet
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/...81aac45d899728e990d72e4bcce729f3de5/detection

Please make sure you download the version here https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases
select :
pivx-4.1.1-win64-setup-unsigned.exe

That above is the installer and the preffered way to setup PIVX on your windows machine. If Avast blocks that you need to whitelist it.

 

[polutoy]

I try that what you tell me but the same here...it says that it has virus...

 

[Jeffrey]

Why are you making shortcuts?
that is just the installation. Please whitelist it in your antivirus.

also there is no need to put the PIVX wallet program in that directory.

 

[polutoy]

ok now i try not to do shortcut, try to take it in white list in my antivirus, all the same hare

I made that you told me to take it in antivirus as s false , but it still can not open ... can i take the old version and does it will work correct if I do this, and I have 1 transaction of one exchange for 13 pivx, but i can not see it anywhere in wallet , but it exchange says confirm, is it can be possible because old version of wallet don;t works anymore and new version have virus>?

You have to use version 4.1.1 as this is a mandatory update. You need to allow the program in your antivirus.
