    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

    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.

    I was going 2 question that, sounds strange that it doesn't scan for viruses inside a compressed file......

    Yep if in doubt forget about it.

    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.

    I wanted 2 know it the virus was origination from the install EXE only or from the SCR file as well. Now I know its in both......Just to be on the safe side I have removed the program from my system completly.

    LMFAO !!!!!!

    Hopefully we can sort it though - would be good to have a decent one flicking around on everyone's work computer for all to see ... any positive promotion of four wheeling as a responsible hobby, let alone promotion of the forum, has got to be a good thing.
