Brilliant - thanks for the link. :) Loved it when he accused Microsoft of lying about their supposed kernel merger in Windows 8 (although he uses slightly more colourful language!) :D

:D and for Nvidia -body language :)

My best overall was this quote towards the end:

"I like offending people because people who get offended should be offended".

I can identify with this. :D

Sorry Vodomar Anupam and epos. I made an editing mistake. Is there any possibility to undo it?
P.S. The discussion below proved, that it was a false positive.

by Anupam on 16. June 2012 - 16:23  (94969)

What kind of editing mistake? You mean deleting the comments? Can't be done, if you mean that :D. No probs from me though.

Yes, it is a false positive definitely. I checked the site on urlvoid.com, and only BitDefender marks it as detected. However, when you click on more details, the BitDefender Trafficlight says that it can't find anything suspicious with the site. So, its definitely a case of a false positive.

Feel free to delete the whole series of comments. If someone can't accept the facts, we can do nothing.

by Ako (the) (not verified) on 16. June 2012 - 22:54  (94986)

Yes, I deleted it accidentally.

by Anupam on 17. June 2012 - 0:56  (94988)

Yup, can't be undone. Meant to be deleted maybe? :D

Hi all just had a interesting thing happen when I clicked on a link. I started out in the "Probably the Best Free Security List in the World" and clicked on http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/probably-best-free-security-list-world.htm?page=0,12
The Ip-Blocking/Hardening category I went to try out Sendori and the page loaded just fine until I tried to download it. I got a blocked alert for avira web protection said sendori is malware and then a few seconds later avira blocked the change of my host file. Thats not good and glad I decided to switch to avira. Just wanted to let everyone know I don't believe it to be a false positive since right after it tried to change my host file. I have Online armor free and avira free and I'm happy to say they work well. I use wireless data stick to access the internet so I was looking for a alternative dns that had a updater and software that would change my dns for me since its sorta like dial up broadband with a data stick any suggestions?? I would use opendns but it will not add my ip for some reason its restricted and I'm not able to do anything... I have the option to change from a dial up wireless modem to using it as a WAN just have to make changes to the tcp connection speed and just didn't want to go through all that. Is mailshield any good? Sendori was blocked for malware I might just stick with my ISP/Cell company.

by ako (the) (not verified) on 5. June 2012 - 17:33  (94448)

Yes. The program is definitely legitimate. There has been heuristic "detection", probably due to packing or behavior.
