ADWARE ALERT!!!
« on: April 17, 2010, 01:39:30 PM »
I just D/Led stock from Sage's sig, and it had "adware.gen.url" in the GameSpy folder.

That's strange. Well, if Sage does change it, at least we can then be sure.

Holy sh** you people are retarded.

adware.gen.url is, as taken from the McAfee site:
Quote
This is a generic detection covering URL shortcut files created by various Adware programs.  These files do not directly impact system performance, but may clutter a user's desktop, start menu, favorites, and other folders.  Such URL shortcuts are meant to direct users to web pages that contain advertising content.
Which means it's just a shortcut to a website. In this case, GameSpy's website.

*Facepalm/Head-wall*

Sorry you guys, especially Sage because of the PM.

My dad and older brother are both computer programmers as well... They know about all of the viruses and things... I've disgraced them. :P

Sorry you guys, again.
