This is just a note to everybody browsing this forum: if somebody posts a .jar or .exe file and asks you to execute it, don't run it before a moderator has seen the thread. Report them immediately. Don't post in it, don't ask if it works, just report the thread for being an executable.
Thanks

Aight,

thanks for the warning!

This is a bit of a "Duh", but some people will ACTUALLY open them. *Shakes head*
1
Some people do create legit .jar things or .exe things, but a few of the ones shared on the forums are actually viruses or that.
1
If it's legit, a moderator will check it out and approve it. There's too many viruses floating around that we just can't risk it.

I feel like james bond now i willkeep an eye on it and i saw someone with a mediafire link i see of i can find it back and figure ou there is a virus or not
1
I have to agree, from that Skype virus, to the lvl 1 viruses, there may even be some higher level virus people (or whatever they are called) trying to take pleasure. Hopefully we can stop this outbreak, keep up the job Paril!

Not forgetting the HD texture pack viruses!
1
Or the texture pack links that bring you to pr0n sites.
1
Hmm... Prawn texture packs... :3
1
True that! There's no way I'm letting my Minecraft account be stolen
1
If it's NOT legit, bad things will happen. Also if you have Trend Micro it will delete it.
Same with the official minecraft launcher EDIT: I meant it will be deleted.

Good inf

The only software that I've downloaded through pmc is mcskin3d :3 and I have 3 virus scanning programs so I think I'm good, but I'll take your warning. When do we know if an exe or jar file has been approved?
1
People who just trust their AntiVirus Programms get a virus faster than those who dont only trust on AV-Programms....
My Tip: Dont download TexturePacks which need installers.

same for mods except for skydaz installers

I'm sorry, but I just have to say that PMC's texture pack uploader doesn't work with most people (even if they have tried anything)
1
A moderator would probably leave a Comment on the post.. Most likely anyways
1
i want to know the same question
1
ok
1
if you want to risk your pc for PMC like me :L download this
a free virus scanner blocks trojan horses malware etc.

yeah true that avast is the best anti-virus EVER and if your worried about the slammer or ambulance virus dont be because those are old viruses figured out a long time ago
1
So... I won't get in trouble for flagging somebody's (seemingly) legit program? It's perfectly OK to just report it for being executable? Don't things like reporting non-malicious content go on our record??
1
If the project was not approved by a moderator, feel free to do so. We would rather not take any chances. Users will not get punished for reporting programs that are actually legit but may appear not to be.

They're reported so that mods get to them quicker.
1
Ok I won't thanks for the heads up
1
Wouldn't it be possible that the person that wonts to post it, sends sends it to a moderator who then posts it, i guess we can be sure that a moderator won't post viruses
1
I will do my honour!
1
If the chance that someone has a .bat file does the same apply?
1
YES! .bat files are probobly the most dodgy
1
well then again .bat dont work for mac
1
Yes, but the majority of people here are on a PC. There is an equivalent for mac, i don't remember the extension though because i don't use em.
1
The equivalent is a Shell Script I believe.... correct me if I'm wrong.
1
Ah hah! That is what I was looking for, just couldn't find the word I was looking for in my head

Just get avast free antivirus and your safe forever lol
1
There are no AntiViruses that will keep you completely safe. You could try VirusTotal (A site), but otherwise, no.

thank you,paril.

Batch files are less dangerous because they are plain text and readable by anybody, whereas executables are harder to decompile in some cases. Still, they count, as users can easily make a batch file to wipe hard drives.

I agree but many people will not know this
So Never download .bat files- only if you know they are 100% safe
If not click open with -> Notepad or Notepad++ to see the code
Also, Paril, may you please have a look at the ''big trees mod'' containing a dodgy -minecraft ram adder-

Hey Paril,
I have a game i have made in executable format, it is 100% legit and there are no hidden virses ect, lots of people enjoy playing it and you can see for yourself that it is real. i wouldnt post anyhting that would result in me being banned from this community.
is there some way that you can mark my game as safe to download? because i think this post is useful but DOESN'T apply to ALL exe or jar files
thanks, Ice374
1
Well i'm actually new to the forums aswell, so I didn't know this. thanks
1
if you want to be realy sure that it is impossible that somebody whipes your hard drive or installes a virus you could use an sandbox, you could run those .bat, .jar and all other files in that sandbox that way it can't hurt your computer and the sandbox analysis the file whille it's running so you know exactly what it does
1
thanks for heads up

nyanekomimiI have 3 virus scanning programs so I think I'm good.
Are you sure that's a good idea? Most virus scanning and internet security programs tend to conflict with each other, so it's probably better off to just have one. Not trying to be critical or anything, just a bit of advice.
