In one of the first post someone posted a link to totalvirus. That is a site that scans a file with multiple virus engines. That found several viruses in the files. I also used it to test the other files that portal was distrubing and they were also infected. I tested totalvirus with several files that I knew were clean and it did not find any viruses, so I believe the results they are giving. Also, total virus shows exactly where the virus was injected at.



That's what I'm trying to figure out. I scanned the file using totalvirus and it came back with nothing, so I scanned it again with total virus 2 more times and used various other scanners and it came out clean. So I am confused as to what file or file he scanned vs the one i scanned. He's came out w/ trojans and the one I have came out clean.

It may not even *BE* the SAME file, it'd be fairly trivial to replace a infected file he is hosting with a clean one and even swap it out again later. Just because any single copy may be clean, does NOT mean any other particular copies will be clean, past or future as haw can you KNOW it's the same file? Filesize is not the answer as there are ways around that (padding and such), I personally don't know if checksum's can be fooled or not, I know they exist.

The files that were on the site the other day were all exe files. Now they are all zip files, so he did change the files. Whether or not its the same files they are still stolen from other developers if there is no credit given to the people who spent hundreds of hours making the programs from scratch. I have not installed the new files or looked at them to see if that was done.

Did you not read the post above yours?

The files were infected but he replaced them. Even so, he still is not giving any credit to all of the hours the previous programmers put into the program. Why are you bringing back such an old post anyway?
