Downloaded fine on Win 7 Pro but tries to ad a keylogger to my machine (twice). I do not allow any app/program to install keyloggers. Zemana is the program I use to check all installs for such actions.
Wow. Great giveaway, BUT, it does add a keylogger and Norton 360 stopped it dead in its tracks. 360 Total Security also stopped it, so I guess this one is a NO GO. I already have CyberLink apps on my W7 PRO quad-core PC, so I know they are good products. But, this one seems to want to do more than I will allow it to do.
Has anyone tried extracting the keylogger from the install package or getting rid of it after installation? Curious as to what function it performs. Any passwords it supplies when using the "Facial Recognition Log-in on Websites" feature should be able to be supplied in a list manually. Guess I'll try it in a sandbox or in Returnil.
Sorry, I wouldn't know how to do either of your suggestions, I am curios for an answer though. I would like to know what you find out when using a sandbox.
I did however install it w/0 allowing the keyloggers but the program will not function w/o them installed.
It also wants to take "control" of your webcam which I did allow because of the nature of the program.
To the readers: I have Qihoo 360 TS installed on my machine with Avira engine enabled. It didn't find any infections for the downloaded .exe file or during program installation. I installed Zemana Anti-keylogger Free and tried to install again, and I didn't get alerts during installation or anytime during Face-Login to Windows. I never got the Face-Login feature for websites to work though.
So am completely clueless what you are talking about. I'd like you guys to post the screenshots for the keylogger or virus detections for Qihoo 360 and Zemana Anti-keylogger. Cyberlink is a reputed company with world-class products and Softpedia has given a 100% clean certificate for YouCam download on their download page.
I didn't notice any keylogging information during the install.
I was informed however during the installation that I would have to install Windows Media Player.
I didn't want to install Windows Media Player or windows Media Feature Pack aka Windows6.3-KB2835517-x64.msu (85.0 MB download) but what's a boy to do when logitech can't provide a working driver for his webcam. Worked on Windows 7 and now doesn't on Windows 8.1 despite downloading their latest driver.
It will fire up the webcam OK but fails on recording a video countdown remains on a loop. I visited Logitech's help forum and at at least one other user had the same problem. That user went backwards and forwards downloading the latest driver then the last but one driver and then extra codecs (never a good sign from advice person - sort of like, have you plugged in your webcam? a question of tech desperation). Nothing worked. The brats need to rebuild their driver again.
So I am pleased by this free offer brought to us by George.J
Good point about the updates George.J.
Whenever I encounter instances like this, 95% of the time the main culprits are:
System not updated
Corrupt system (often resulting from use of registry cleaning type tools)
Interference from third party firewall/antivirus or other security program.
MC - Site manager.
These are different warnings than I got when I changed the suggested download location to my Programs file when I first downloaded it. I decided to go with their suggested Install file to see if that made a difference which it did. These are the warning I got by using their Install location.
@ Gibbs.Slap,
Sorry about the delay. I installed to a sandbox and then remembered I had excluded the sandbox in Avira (while trying to validate a comment that a certain germ was able to escape sandboxes) and when trying to scan the sandbox manually, noticed the Avira context menu scan item was missing. After jumping through hoops trying to make it re-appear, I installed the newest (offline) version and now, since they've changed something, myself and others now have Avira telling us that Windows F/W is not activated (it nor the Win. Sec. Center has ever been) along with some other weird stuff. The context menu scan item is back so after I get Zamana I'll try again. So i positively understand, you got the (posted below) results how?
(you at first say "their download location" then you say "their install location" my apologies if I'm missing it, which I must be. ha.
Are you sure you downloaded the product from the promotional link that I've given in the article. After you input your name and e-mail id, you will get the download link in your mail id.
I tried installing Zemana AntiLogger Free, it gave me no alerts during install. Are you using the Free version or Pro version? Moreover the downloaded file appears as YouCam_5.0.4628a.0_HW_STD_DE_Standard_YUC141222-05.exe and not as Setup.exe as shown in your screenshots.
About your screenshots
4. It's the error message you got after blocking the requests
3. wingdi.dll means Windows Graphics Device Interface. YouCam is supposed to interact with it because it's supposed to interact with your webcam and show the output on the screen. Here's info about it
2. YouCamservice.exe is the Cyberlink service and it's a signed (verified) digital application. It's a webcam logger, because it's supposed to interact with it
1. Zemana is not just a keylogger app but a screen-logger, webcam-logger and clipboard-logger. If any app is trying to use any of these logging services it will alert the user. Since Youcam is supposed to work with your webcam, it displays that alert.
Most of all during these kind of alerts, as you can see in your screenshots you can see this message, "Do not click Allow unless this is a legitimate application". And yes as you can see just below that, its a verified application from Cyberlink, so you are perfectly safe to execute the installer. These kind of problems arise when you set heuristic levels to high.
Yes, I used the link supplied and the license # provided. I am using Zemana Version 1.93 - paid. Yes, I know that Zemana is a multi-use logger, the webcam logger didn't really worry me. I just don't understand why the program would need to install a keylogger (#3).Upon checking your supplied link I noticed this: (Expiration date: Monday, April 13, 2009). I don't understand why "any" program would need to install a keylogger at all, thus the use of Zemana.
As far as #1 why does this program want to inject code that that could take full access of my system? I just find these findings discouraging.
Don't get me wrong George I have downloaded tons of programs from here over the past umpteen years without having a problem. This is probably why I am so concerned about seeing these things popping up.
Thanks Rob.
Excellent your advice to uninstall QuickTime. Actually, I uninstalled it years ago when I began to use VLC to watch *.mov videos. That was the only reason to have QuickTime in my pcs.
"A couple of serious security bugs have recently been discovered in the product, which could allow someone to gain access to your PC." A statement like that requires the inclusion of your reference sources I think.
Thanks, Rob. I just want to remind people that they may need Quicktime to manage the content on their old (now discontinued) iPods. Thanks for all your hard work. JK
Thanks again for - as everybody says - your vigilance. I work with videos in a good few codecs and you used to need Quicktime for various things on a PC (can't remember what they were) If that's no longer the case, I'll un-install for good? (P.S. (I only discovered Gizmo by accident: and I'm so glad I did!)
Yes this does apply to the version that is still available to download from Apple. If you do require it to support older applications select Custom install and ONLY select QuickTime Essentials. Make sure that the Quicktime Player and Optional QuickTime Features are not selected. It won't be quite as good as not having it at all, but this should remove the online options.
I have too many, rather expensive softwares that rely on Quicktime components to simply uninstall it completely from my systems. I'm hoping the fact that their last build does not include browser plugins will be help keep me safe "enough".
Another example of why I detest Apple and, as Microsoft seems determined to adopt their imperious, disrespectful, arrogant attitudes, I am coming to dislike them, too.
Thanks for your feedback CASD. I'm sure other members would like more info such as how these bugs were discovered and what kind of glitches they have been creating for users of the QT application.
While that would be helpful, you should be intelligent and computer savvy enough to know how to use a search engine to find the information for yourself. It's not that difficult since it's being reported just about everywhere. Of course the first place to look would be the Apple Web Site itself. Next would be Krebs on Security. After that I would look at the various security and malware sites like Trend Micro, Sophos, Malwarebytes, etc. Sometimes you have to do your own followups to news stories. Don't expect to be spoon fed everything. If you honestly can't find the information after spending a reasonable amount of time with a search engine then it's acceptable to ask for links, but not before.
It's only acceptable to ask for links after spending time with search engines? Does that just apply to articles or application downloads as well? If I were the cynical type I might think you just invested a bundle in Google shares.
I never mentioned using Google for your searches. And yes, it is considered lazy to ask for links ANYWHERE prior to doing your own searches on something like this that is so well covered and is easily found. In less time than it took for you to even make the request (let alone wait for them to reply) you could have found the information with a search engine of you choice. And yes that can include downloads.
Of course that doesn't apply if they mention following a specific link and fail to include it.
Of course there are other progs lke this, but still I was interested, and received an email from these people. It was immediately flagged by my anti-virus, as was the web site which I Googled, as an infected web-site. Hey guys, do you not check this stuff out before you have us downloading all sorts of nastiness? So, yes, it's free. Roll up and get your musical viruses here, or rather from Berlin, which is where this gunge is coming from.
I agree with the above. Musescore is free for all platforms. Why bother with a limited-time-offer that _needs_ your e-mail (what for? To spam you, re-sell it to other spammers?).
Rob, in my home state (South Australia), if you are a member of any public library in the State, the card number you are given has access to the library.pressdisplay.com website, which claims to have access to 3,000 newspapers worldwide. It's not just the front page, it's the complete newspaper you can access. I've been using it for a few years now and it works well.
According to their Help menu: "Library.PressDisplay.com is the most convenient and complete way to read all your favorite newspapers and magazines on one site. With Library PressDisplay users gain access to publications from within the library, from home and around the world on the day they are published. Library.PressDisplay.com enhances your reading experience with a simple user interface and easy-to-use navigation tools."
Trust this helps.
"....these are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise....it's five year mission to search out new life....and a cure for male baldness." Scott Kelly looks eerily like a younger version of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard.
Maybe he shaves his head? Zero gravity and stray hairs don't sound all that good together, but then what do I know about living on a space station? Nada. :)
@rhiannon - Great find, as usual. Thank you. :) Btw, I'm sure his hair clippers have a vacuum-device attached.
@crosseyedlemon - A cure for male-pattern baldness was developed during the Apollo Eleventeen Mission. It's called "Chia" but, unfortunately, it only works in space. And, since you brought it up: After James T. , as corny, over wrought and laughably macho as he was, there is NO way Jean-Luc should have been permitted anywhere NEAR the bridge of the Enterprise, except, perhaps, to serve a nice quiche.... which, we all know, real men don't eat. He's much better suited to lasciviously sneaking and scurrying in the shadows of clandestine, Earth-bound concerns.
While WPS Office Free is indeed free, it seems to come with a couple of restrictions. After downloading and installing "Free," I found that printing is disabled. It can be temporarily enabled by watching an advert, but to get full printing functionality, one must purchase a license for the "Business" version. Also, according to the version comparison chart on the website, there appear to be some mandatory watermarking provisions with the "Free" version.
After uninstalling "Free," I downloaded and installed the "Beta" version. It seems to have no restrictions at all, and printed a document just fine. So I'll continue using "Beta" and see if any stability issues crop up over time.
Are you sure this is the case? Because from what I've seen, you can print the document but it watermarks the document when printing to paper or to PDF. Also you cannot save to newer formats (.docx, .xlsx) which can be done with Kingsoft Office 9.1.0.4550 that doesn't watermark too. So this is the current best free version to date that can be obtained from Filehippo.
I have just installed WPS Office Free for a friend and discovered a severe limitation. When you print a document it prints a watermark on the document pages. The only way to remove this is to purchase a copy. As printing is an essential feature of any free product this restriction should take it out of a "Free" product category. I would therefore recommend that Gizmo's readers not utilize this product, and Gizmo remove it from their listings.
What is the difference between the beta and the free version? I would assume you have to critique it after you use it the first time but what happens after that? Do you stay on the beta version indefinitely or do you have to move over to the free version after awhile?
I do some printing every once in awhile and mainly use the word processing part of the program. I would not be on there for a long time between printings off some documents. Is this the Office app for me?
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 using Windows 8.1.
There is a free version of Word but I can't download it for some reason. I have that question sent to Microsoft. I feel I should be able to download all programs from Windows store but what do I know?
As much as I love this software the FREE as stated before has a huge problem, it doesn't print! The company is a con to FREE. Its not honest about this; so I suggest you find another software. Because of this lack of detail if I had to buy an office suite it wouoldn't be this one
Somehow I'm missing the point here. You talk about bit.ly? but not how to use it. Are there other alternatives? I'll google search. It's a PITA to use the long urls I agree.
I use the Firefox extension Long URL Please. It automatically converts short URLs to the original in the web page. No need to click or do anything. Works on bit.ly, tinyurl, google URL shortener, and others.
@exbioman:
A wee little bit of reading on Bitly's home page (bitly.com) shows you a link to "Help". There you find more than you ever wanted to know about Bitly.
And have you had the idea to try a Wikipedia search?
This is a list of the most recently posted comments on the site sorted so that the most recent comments appear first.
You can however sort the list on Article title by clicking on the column heading. To see actual comments click the + sign.
thank you Cyberlink & gizmo's!

Thank you for your vigilance, R.S. !

Does that apply to QuickTime 7.7.9 for Windows Vista or Windows 7 which I downloaded from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
on 2016.04.20 ?
Can't we run it manually for video files already on our computer without it being a security issue?

Musescore. Free.

MuseScore. Runs on Linux.
I agree with the above. Musescore is free for all platforms. Why bother with a limited-time-offer that _needs_ your e-mail (what for? To spam you, re-sell it to other spammers?).
Doesn't run on/incompatible with Winduhs XP. No support for XP, either. Besides, I already have MuseScore.

Great tip, Rob. Can I also offer a couple for non-Bit.Ly shortened URLs that I use.
In Firefox, there is the Unshorten.It! extension which adds this option to the context menu.
Also, you can use this bookmarklet which opens a pop-up for you to copy/paste the short URL in to see the full address -
javascript:(function()%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20{%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20xraybm=document.createElement('SCRIPT');%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20xraybm.type='text/javascript';%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20xraybm.src='http://urlxray.com//bookmarklet.js';%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(xraybm);%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20}%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20)();

Nice bookmarklet, Nodrog.
Pull all of those spaces (%20) out and shorten that script to -
javascript:(function(){xraybm=document.createElement('SCRIPT');xraybm.type='text/javascript';xraybm.src='http://urlxray.com//bookmarklet.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(xraybm);})();
It makes the new window properly formatted.
I've added it to my bag of tricks. Thanks.
Glad you like it. I can't remember where I found it but credit to the originator anyway.
I should also have said that you can use it by highlighting the shortened URL first then click on the bookmarklet.
