  1. So  K-Lite changed their MPC language files location, here is the update.

    [K-Lite Media Player Classic (Lng)*]
    Section=Language Files
    Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\mpc-hc.exe
    Default=False
    Warning=This will delete all language files excluding the Default language.
    FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\K-Lite Codec Pack\MPC-HC\Lang|*.*|REMOVESELF
    FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\K-Lite Codec Pack\MPC-HC64\Lang|*.*|REMOVESELF
    
  2. MSE, but I didn't get any warning from the AV; I just saw a new dialog for installing adware while installing K-Lite. After installing it, being careful to untick all pertinent boxes, I run AdwCleaner to see if something would have slipped into my system. Everything is normal.

     

    And yes, it seems portable (or compressed without installer) is the way to go, until someone makes an util to modify installers to get rid of any bundled crap.

     

    Where did you get your installer ?

    I just uninstalled my 10.6.5 that I got from Filehippos direct link, reinstalled using Advanced mode, scan my pc and didn't detect anything nor see any new dialogs.

     

     

    Some av's will warn against the pups but you may have to opt in to that option. This could be because of legal issues in that the bundled apps can take them to court if they auto ban without user approval.

     

    it's a complex world out there. 

     

    Some shady ways to put food on the table. :blink:

  3. Some entries for TeamSpeak 3, use discretion.

    [TeamSpeak3 Themes*]
    LangSecRef=3022
    Detect=HKCU\Software\TeamSpeak 3 Client
    Default=False
    Warnin=This will set the Theme to System default
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\styles|*.*|RECURSE
    ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\styles\default*
    ExcludeKey2=PATH|%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\styles\default
    
    [TeamSpeak3 Icon Packs*]
    LangSecRef=3022
    Detect=HKCU\Software\TeamSpeak 3 Client
    Default=False
    Warning=This may cuase your icons to look funny. To correct Options-->Design-->Icon Pack set to default
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\gfx|*.zip
    ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\gfx\default.zip
    
    [TeamSpeak3 News*]
    LangSecRef=3022
    Detect=HKCU\Software\TeamSpeak 3 Client
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\news|*.*|RECURSE
    

    Know this will not be included in .ini that why standalone !

    [TeamSpeak3 (Lng)*]
    Section=Language Files
    Detect=HKCU\Software\TeamSpeak 3 Client
    Default=False
    Warning=This will delete all language files excluding the Default language.
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\TeamSpeak 3 Client\translations|*.qm
    
  4. It's a shame how they tried to implement the download manager and ESET all ready detects it as PUA, variant of Win32/InstallerCore.PK

    Nice try Filehippo....

     

    Right now the direct download link is quite tiny.

     

    Do not think they will make the direct download link any bigger as they WANT you to download their special package.

  5. Here's a "how it used to be" blast, I wrote my first game (Pacman by chance) in COBOL on a DEC-20 mainframe.

    I do miss programming mainframes in Pascal, Fortran, COBOL and Assembler.  Those were real men (don't eat quiche) languages. :P

     

    And who amongst us remembers the 80 column green punch cards we had to punch holes through to give to the 'computer room guys' to run through the card reader to get the code into the mainframe?

     

    Is that a collective HUH? I here from all the gen X's and Y's...

     

    My first understanding of programming was with the help of Pascal then Delphi and now VB.Net.

    At the collage where I did some studding, they still teach students how to work with punch cards....

  6. And that baby ran on the Z80 which was the first chip we programmed on in Uni with Assembler.

    Ah, the glory days of computing.

    I've still got my Programming the Z80 manual on my bookshelf.

     

    All these things are a forgotten world to the kids of today with Pacman right there on their phones - on their phones for god sake, how cool is progress.

    No more asking Mum to drive you down to the arcade.

     

    So mta you are one of the "ancient" programmers..... ;).

     

    On behave or all man kind, "ancient" programmers, thank you for giving Pacman and more on our phones.

  7. Hello and welcome to the forum.

    All though this may seem like a good idea, look at the dilemma.
    They would have to support all phone types. They cant be selective in what phone to support and not.

    If not mistaken there are numerous discussion about phone support that answer your question.

     

    But the short awnser is "No, Recuva doesn't have phone support"

  8. So I download some software from Sourceforge and my AV (ESET) gos mad and warns me about some variant of Win32/InstallCore.PO. I also noticed the file icon from Sourceforge is "SF".
    Downloaded the software from the site itself and nothing, no warnings and the icon is the standard windows application icon.

    Uploaded both files to VirusTotal and here is the results

    Anyone else noticed this ?

  9. So I did a small test, simple setup.  Created a batch file that creates files, a lot of files.
    While the batch was creating the files I ran CCleaner Analyze. The Analyze took incrementally longer and longer to complete.

     

    Question, Did you run any downloads, have any open Browsers, moving files or removing files while you ran the Analyze ?

  10. @Hav0c:

    How one antivirus classifies OpenCandy versus another i.e.; no detection doesn't necessarily make it a bad antivirus in my opinion. I would really dislike an antivirus claiming it as being infected outright and not allowing me the choice to install something when in fact it isn't infected. Some software offer a portable version that's zipped with no adware whatsoever, however the install version may have adware.

     

    OpenCandy is very easy to stop by using the /nocandy switch on the installer (Example: C:\Setups\setup.exe /nocandy) and/or by installing with no established Internet connection.

     

    We have to remember that all of the popular free antivirus' use a form of in-built advertising (or "upselling" they'd prefer us to call it now) themselves; Avast, Avira, AVG, Panda, etc.

     

    @ Avdavari:

    I do not disagree with your statement at all, don't get me wrong.

     

    I would also dislike any antivirus that does not allowing me the choice to install something being infected or not. You are correct in stating that the portable version does not ship with adware and that it's installable versions that does.

     

    But how many users know they have to add the /nocandy parameter,  let alone know how to implement it ?

     

    If the build in advertisements are standalone files they can be deleted/detected one just have to look hard for them.

    There are in most cases a workaround, the bigger question is, does one have to time to find it ?

  11. Hey there and welcome to the forum.

     

    This may be a shot in the dark,

    I have noticed from your screen shot your primary partition (OS C:) current usage stands at 743.2 (87%). That is a lot of files.

     

    The first thing that Defraggler does is build a Index of ALL the files on the partition you want to Defrag.
    Now according to, number of files and Index building time ratio, the more files you have the longer it will take to build the Index of ALL the files. The less files you have the faster the Index building process takes.

     

    Just give it time and do not open and close applications while trying to Defrag the partition. As this could delay the building process and in some cases corrupt the file being defrag.

     

    Something that you can try if you haven't already.
    Setup CCleaner and run it, this will remove all junk files lessening the amount of files to be Indexed.
