Do not trust *any* .exe file unless you have reason to believe it's not harmful.

<p>So there is this webpage being advertised: <a href="http://allseeingbiteye.tk/">http://allseeingbiteye.tk/</a></p>

<p>And the way it is advertised is: You can be tracked! Be careful of what you pay for. Bitcoin is as insecure and non-anonymous as a public toilet.</p>

<p>Obviously i got interested in it and ran the application, without administrative rights ofcourse.</p>

<p>With my security options, applications sometimes simply does not start until they are given administrative privileges...as soon as i ran that exe i realised that this could very well be sopfisticated scam to steal my wallet.</p>

<p>So anyone have any information about that site?</p>

Can't speak from experience, but that site is blocked by websense at my workplace as "Phishing or other fraud" - I'd be careful.

Website looks like something that would be aimed at getting your wallet.dat. Tried scanning it with some antivirus software?

Move your Bitcoin to a new address that is generated on a fresh, secure computer, that only has Bitcoin installed and nothing else. Preferably running linux.

Never heard of this website, but based on what you said alone I'm about 99% sure this is a scam. You should learn what signs to look for.
