Been wondering if the forum screen saver is going to be put back up anytime soon after the trojan issues?
I really liked the old one, it was unfortunate we had to delete it.

Cheers
Toddie
ohhhhhhhhh.........I thought that the first one was safe and that a second edition had come out and was virusy!!
oh dear........
Is there someone on the forum who can 100% scan an exe file and 100% confirm if It's clean.
I just don't know much about that side of things with computers.
Todd, I got your PM mate but I am reluctant to let anything on this forum unless someone there is a wizz at this sort of scanning and can confirm It's 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% safe!
Your link in the Pm didn't work either.
yeah the recent events would have made you a bit nervous of viruses i reckon AB.
Yep, one could say that mate...LMAOQuote:

In regards to the forum Screen Saver returning
The program I was using for the screen saver was not 100% legit, this could of been why the screen saver install contained a virus. My anti virus didn't pick up the virus at my end but I take Scotty's word that it did on his anti virus program
The software program I used cost 70 bucks to purchase which unfortunately I can spare at the moment.
So the
Short term answer - NO
Long Term answer - Yes
I will look when I have a chance for a free screen saver maker, Unfortunately most software that's free is usually crap.
Cheers
Toddie
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. don't do it Toddddddd!!!!!!
Well done mate - best to err on the side of caution with this ... you'll get there no doubt, however as you said (for the others benefit coming from me also) Norton Business grade Insight picks up the virus once expanded (not in the .rar file itself), and if even the slightest hint of doubt exists, best to protect the members and the forum.Quote:

I'm more than happy to pay for the software mate but I am just so paranoid about uploading an exe file back on the forum again after whats happened lately and what happened here a while back.
I'll have a think about a solution...lol
It wasn't an EXE file this time around it was a SCR extension.Quote:

Yep, good call mate!
Pussies!!Quote:

I'm not sure if anyone would be able to confirm whether something was 100% virus free....... My works supposed all singing all dancing jobbie didn't pick anything up. So I guess if in doubt leave it mate.... Not worth your rep or the forums. Even though it was bloody good work from Toddy, just a shame some toe rags out there are sending these damn viruses out there.Quote:

There is only three products I recommend for virus control and they have nothing to do with personal preference, and/or belief in hype - they are from practical 'enterprise grade' application in the IT market that I have been in since 1990. They are (in order):
1. Nortons Business Edition (360 for home computers), as they do live update of virus definitions every 4 minutes worldwide ... simple as that. It affects performance by consuming huge amounts of memory but essentially just says no to anything that even smells fishy from 100 feet. Painful at times, but super effective.
2. Trend Micro - not sure if you can get this for home computers as the corporate edition is bloody expensive - but if it's good enough the FBI (irrespective of your thoughts after watching Hollywood movies), it's good enough for me.
3. Barracuda Anti-Virus - one of the cheaper ones, but smacks the anus of program's like McAfee and Kaspersky. Small footprint also and doesn't seem to affect application/computer performance anywhere near as much as Nortons - but for good reason, it's not as 'hardened'.
Everyone has an opinion, and there's other good ones out there, but considering those three above have about 60% of the global corporate market, they're reputation is on the line (along with literally billions upon billions in revenue), and they'll protect that by protecting you.
Ive got Trend Micro on my work lappy..... Picked up diddly squat, where the screen saver was concerned, but saying that I've heard nothing but good things about it. Use Norton 360 at home, never had an issue with itQuote:

Can't wait till they permit flash and the like, and have a recognised conversion ability for mainstream document systems (yes, office!! lol) - Microsoft will be on the ropes then ... as will Dell, and HP, and IBM, and Asus, and Lenovo, and ...
You get my point ...
Hey guys you should chat with Danny at Loveday or his wife Sally, they are Gurus about all things online hosting in my world and may be able to help or steer you in the right direction.
You guys are already talking way way over my head so good luck with it and i hope that we see it soon.....
Thats all i got ;)
