Getting infected with trojans on your computer doesn't "incriminate yourself" whatsoever, that's silly and ignorant.ENV1 wrote: This means for you to have caught 16 trojans you must have been quite busy with something that actually does give people trojans, in other words you are incriminating yourself without even realizing it.
You know whats silly and ignorant?
Silly and ignorant is to say something like you just did because the fact that there are people out there who have little else to do than re-packaging all sorts of software with crap either because they get a high out of the thought that some poor chap will be spending the rest of the week fixing their computer or simply because they want to sucker you into paying a handsome sum of ransom money is undeniable.
So dont tell me anything about how the world works. Just because the folks that do the cracking usually dont infect their stuff themselves doesnt mean the internet isnt full of infected cracked stuff anyway. The idea that it wasnt 'even likely' for cracked stuff to contain malware is simply ridiculous and only shows an utter lack of understanding of the actual situation.
One thing you said is true however, and that is that i shouldnt have said 'incriminating'. What i should have said instead is 'making an ass of yourself', because that is precisely what youre doing when you claim to have gotten malware from clean files, especially when you maintain that claim even though it has been made quite clear to you that you have been in error.
Consider it corrected.
You know what the real shame is?BBFG# wrote:You would be wrong then.
The first one I downloaded came with a positive. I asked and was assured it was false. Installed it and played it fine, but didn't like the multi-color scheme. Went back to the site and downloaded the black skin. On installing was met with an immediate quarantine identifying the trojans with the synth in the same folder. Removed them all and reported it. Was immediately met with this attitude that apparently continues to this day.
I'm done with it. It's a shame others aren't.
The real shame is that you cant be man enough to admit that you were wrong.
You see, ive told you several times now that it wasnt MauSynth that was responsible for your malware problem. And im in a position to say that with certainty, because im not only the one who made the black skin, (as you well know), i have also compiled the images into the DLLs myself, which means i could TELL if the files had been altered after they left my custody simply by checking their checksums. And yet you go on and on about how these clean files have given you malware. Dont you think it is a little shitty to behave like this towards 2 people who worked in their spare time to give you stuff for free? Dont you think it is time to apologize and move on?
Anyway, just to show you how well i really mean, heres a last attempt at making it clear to you that you were wrong. Please follow closely because i wont do this again.
- The DLLs on Pekkas website are not packed into archives
- The only files you can download from Pekkas website are the DLLs themselves
- It is not possible for you to have downloaded files other than the DLLs from Pekkas website
- The DLLs were downloaded by many people, including many KVRers when MauSynth was in the OSC
- Out of all those people, the only person who claims to have had a problem is you
- The MD5 for MauSynthBlack 32bit is fafd7353650d820154c28576836c8339
- The MD5 for MauSynthBlack 64bit is a43b33350240f444901b709613512627
- These 2 files are the only ones that have ever been released, which means everyone who downloaded MauSynthBlack can verify and confirm that the files werent 'clandestinely swapped' after Pekka and i realized that our vile plan to infect the music world with malware was discovered.
- 32bit DLL: 52 Virus Scanners show you that the file with the MD5 fafd7353650d820154c28576836c8339 is 100% clean.
- 64bit DLL: 55 Virus Scanners show you that the file with the MD5 a43b33350240f444901b709613512627 is 100% clean.
(MD5 listed under 'Additional Information' tab.)
So there you go. If you were paying attention, and your sense of logic isnt on vacation, you should now know with 100% certainty that it is not possible for you to have gotten any malware from MauSynthBlack because the 2 files that are available from Pekkas website today are the exact same files that i had sent to him back then, which means they are the same files that you downloaded, and 55 VirusScanners from 55 different companies plus the person who actually made those files tell you unequivocally that these files do not contain any malware whatsoever.
(Which means, and for your sake i hope that you realize this, that if you now still continued to claim that you got any malware from MauSynth you would either have to be trolling or you just cannot be taken seriously in general...)
oh well.
