carl0s Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 anybody care to back me up? I have a very useful tool which is detected as a virus, near enough (access is denied because it's in the virus database) the discussion is going on here http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=83217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 removed the link from the post, cant have a link to an unknown EXE on the BBS, especially if the virus software has it defined as dangerous (whether it is or not is obviously the point of this discussion). I would rather people didnt find out it was actually malware the hard way. Anybody wants the link then please PM Carlos. Sorry mate, if the site you are linking to doesnt like the link I cant see us keeping it there. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 The software we run for AV and spam does this. It's illegal. Ther terms and conditions of any ISP will outline they will not condone the use of their systems for illegal files. It's never given a false positive yet.

If antivirus software was detecting and deleting kazaa.exe edonkey.exe emule.exe limewire.exe et cetera I think a lot of people would not be happy.

It only blocks Keygens and cracks that I'm aware of. I don't see how these can be condoned. Yes I agree that apps like those file sharing utils shouldn't be blocked as it's their use that is being abused, not the tool itself being bad. It's not like they were designed SOLEY to circumvent copy protection or supply dodgy serial numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 oh come on! apart from eMule/eDonkey they're use is almost exclusively for downloading copyrighted music!! Anyhow I've learned now that I obviously have incredibly poor morals possibly due to a poor upbringing, and the rest of the world is whiter-than-white, so I'd better just give up all together on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no - you've got it completely wrong... They're used for downloading all sorts of other illegal stuff such as console games, apps, porn, warez stuff etc. All kinds of things I wouldn't know anything about at all guv.
