TSR: IN UR COMPUTER, VIRUSIN' UR FILES!

[Nightmare]

Kaspersky complaints too. Global trap. Intercepting all processes....



YES IT IS THE SAME MESSAGE THAT TREND MICRO SAYS, IT IS JUST SAYS IT IN OTHER WORDS

ISSUE CONFIRMED. MALWARE BEHAVIOUR CONFIRMED

[Dr House]

Oh my. I read "[...] is trying to intrude module into all processes by installing the total crap."
I was extremely busy these last days, I'm now busted and my eyes are playin' tricks on me. Eventhough they're right for that one

[neriana]

Why would you think that Pescado would care about retaining credibility? If stupid people are so stupid that they're fine with having a proven malicious entity install unknown junk on their computers, I say they deserve it.

Nightmare; could you get a screenshot of just the A/V alerts in a higher resolution - I'm working on something Sekkrit and need the picts. Thanks for you input btw, I'm glad I could help. (Also, very smart of you to use a virtualization!)

I have PM ed you a secret link that contains ALL warnings in high res. Including this one. If you want an specific cut say it. 

BTW virtualization is a must when testing dangerous ware

Could you also send it to me? I have a formal complaint pending and I would like to attach these links to it if it's okay. Thanks

TSR has a new tool out now. TSR Merlin. It is the same thing as Delphy's install program, with the exception the TSR one also installs .sims3packs too, so you don't have to use the launcher. This is the info they posted about it:

We are very proud to announce the beta of TSR Merlin. This will soon be your best friend when it comes to Custom Content and The Sims 3.

This tool lets you quickly and easily install custom content, mods and other creations in both .sims3pack and .package formats for The Sims 3. You can just as easily uninstall the same content through Merlin's easy to use Download Management facility.

To make installation safer you have the option to view the content of a file before you install it, giving you complete control over what you install into your game.

Points of note:

    * It's very fast. Installing/uninstalling a .sims3package file takes seconds instead of up to a minute with the Sims 3 Launcher.
    * Supports both Mac and PC. Since Merlin is written in Java it supports both platforms, making sure noone is left behind. You will need the latest framework of Java available here: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp.
    * Full preview of the content. You will see all contents of a package including images and every file included, making it easy to decide whether to install it into your game or not.
    * Keeping your downloads organized. With the Download Management facility you have full control over the content installed into your game.
    * On the first run the required framework for installing and using .package files is automatically completed, making sure all you need to worry about is what content to install or not.

Post beta feedback, questions and requests in our Merlin forums here: http://forums.thesimsresource.com/forumdisplay.php?f=690

Coming soon:

    * Detailed information about installed content types, such as a Sim's traits, an object's behavior, a clothing type's age groups etc.
    * An icon in Downloads Management that indicates whether a file has been installed or not.
    * The possibility to install files using the right click option on a file.

Download the tool from here and read installation instructions here. Enjoy!

Sounds like a bunch of horse shit to this gal, and it probably is. I don't trust them as far as I could throw a Cray computer.

[pickles]

Would you trust them as far as you could throw a VAX though?

[Paden]

I would not trust them with a fox, I would not trust them with a fox, I would not trust them here or there, I would not trust them anywhere. I do not like that mental scar, I would not trust that TSR... Sorry, we've had a Dr. Seuss day here, my son is hooked on it.

Lol, I like that Paden, I'm stealing it for my sig.

Delphy has already made a Sims3pack Installer.  Been available since...end of May.

Hope everyone reading this thead also read the details in the PRISM thread as well.  Thoma$$ and Johan wrote replies.  Personally, I hope the code injection warning is just due to sloppy handling of the alt key on T$R's part and not anything deliberately malicious.  Waiting to see what Sblade makes of Johan's reply, and the new version of the TSR code.  Glad someone with lots more know-how than me is doing thorough testing.

What does global trap mean?  Is that a separate issue from the dll injection, or another name for it?

It is the same as the dll injection. As for the test. TSR latest version 6.4 is Neat & Clean. I think the warnings were due to a faulty programming. Don´t be so harsh with them. The TSR tool is a BETA, and beta state means bugs can happen.

The Global trap/hook/dll injection is DISABLED when you exit the TSR tool. So nothing out of the ordinary here.

Yay!  I feel safer now!
