Quote - i don't need to have any findings 'verified' by anyone else, i SAW exactly what the CMS was doing as it started up.

This is not about you, this is about everyone else

If there is a problem with the installers -- spyware, rootkits, trojans, viruses, you name it -- it is for everyone's benefit to get them removed, and guilty parties found and nailed to the wall.

And, it is not about belief. It is about being able to test and verify.  

Quote - i did not 'assert' anything, i saw it happening onscreen.

For the record, hitting 'print screen' button and then pasting the result into some paint program is a great way to provide evidence. 

Quote - if you want it verified, get off your arse and get a debugger to run the code for you.

You're missing the point: *I want to verify it myself, but until I'm told which ones specifically gave you the bleep, I cannot. *

Quote - Skiriki, I have hundreds of DAZ installers and I don't have time to install each one in order to give you examples. Just go through your own data, pick some that come from 2008 and away you go... Look for the one's made in 2008 with the red DAZ logo. If you have the Win 7 developer installed on a machine, that might be worth doing your research on.

No. This is not how it works.

  1. I do not own everything. As a matter of fact, I own very little. I'm a newbie with 3D content. I am ready to make a purchase in name of getting this tested.
  2. In order to test reliably, I absolutely need to know which .exes have been raising the flag. Once I have the offending .exe myself, I want to compare the hashtags to confirm that we both have the same .exe, and the one I have is hot off the store.
  3. I take issues with security seriously especially when they are related to personal information. So I have full motivation to find out what's going on and deliver ass-whooping of epic proportions if I must; EU area has some pretty damn strict right of privacy laws. However, I refuse to chase a wild goose.
  4. And, as I have said before, this is not about you. This is more than that: this is about the well-being of everyone around.
  5. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
