Amazon To Stop Accepting Flash Ads
An anonymous reader writes: Starting on September 1, Amazon will no longer support Flash across its advertising platform. The online retailer sites changes to browser support and a desire for customers to have a better experience as their reasons for blocking it. Google has been quite active recently in efforts to kill Flash; the Chrome beta channel has begun automatically pausing Flash, Google has converted ads from Flash to HTML5, and YouTube uses HTML5 by default now as well. Safari and Firefox also place limits on Flash content. Is Flash finally on its way out?
The online retailer sites changes to browser support
CITES
When Flash was used, at least I had the choice to not to install the plugin at all, which meant I wasn't subjected to any Flash content at all.
But now that HTML5 is being used, I have no choice at all. You can't just "disable" HTML5. It's much too inherent. We are subjected to it without mercy, and we have no way out.
As some great poets once noted,
The online retailer sites changes to browser support
The online retailer cites changes to browser support.
Like "citation".
I block ads. never see them, don't care if they are flash or not.
I stopped accepting Flash ads years ago.
Flash? You mean the Fucking Large-Ass Security Hole? I have had it disabled on my machines for years now, all the way back to the "FlashToggler" software of from the early 2000s. It's about time the rest of the world ditches it too.
The only good thing about Flash is it made blocking animated ads trivial simply by disabling the plugin. I have not had similar success with HTML5, and fear that the rise of HTML5 will signal the return of pages with so much animated ad content that I can't concentrate on the text. :(
Flash was on its way out when Steve Jobs decided that Apple wouldn't permit Flash to operate on iPod Touches and iPhones and iPads. Lots of people disagreed with him back then, most vocally anyone connected to Adobe, but he knew what the future held and boldly took that first step.
While it's nice that other companies have finally clued in and are following suit, let's not attribute the insight to them - they wanted almost a decade before finally following Jobs' insightful decision.
I'll believe Flash is dead once Weebl's Stuff (Weebl and Bob; "Badgers"), Homestar Runner, and the animutation scene go all HTML5. Rendering an SWF to MP4 and uploading it to YouTube is not the answer, as it bloats file sizes by a factor of ten in an era of capped home Internet.
That's probably why Amazon and Google are really ditching it. Too easy to block.

Blocking flash is trivial. And of course adblock and the like make short work of ads in HTML5 but its harder to block categorically. I suspect the whole flash removal is dual purpose with increased advertising content to the browser being a major goal.
Legalize the constitution. Think for yourself question authority.

Blame Adobe for the mess the Flash player has become. Flash should never, EVER, have been used for advertisements with "scripting" it should have been restricted to acting as an image. Interactive flash files should only ever have been interactive when hosted from the first party (eg newgrounds.)
So Adobe ruined it by turning it into little more than a VP6/h.264 player, and it proliferated as the second most hated piece of internet software behind Internet Explorer, and just above Java (because not everyone installs the Java Plugin even if they use Java)
We wouldn't be in the security situation Flash is in, and hence it's lack-of-Apple-support on iOS and later lack of Android support had flash been limited to "click/tap-to-run" from the very beginning.
Oh well. Looks like the newground'ers are going to be forced to switch to Unity now for games and Toon Boom Studio for animations that they have to export as stupidly large h.264 files instead of tiny swf animations. And you know why that is? Flash doesn't scale.
Literately.
There's not enough resolution to upscale a sub-720p flash animation past 720p, Scale something that is the default 540px to 1080 and you've lost 4x the precision. Now upscale that to 4K and you've lost 16x the precision. The largest a flash file can be is roughly 16k pixels vertically and horizontally, but that's basically 1/4 of FUHD's resolution. That means each point in the vector animation only has 4 possible pixels to align to, so you start getting a lot of "flat" curves like you do in 3D modeling because there's just no way to smooth something upscaled to FUHD. As it is, even on high end hardware the flash player chokes at 720p because the flash player's animations are very single-threaded. Some versions of the flash player thread h.264 video but it tends to look awful as the top and bottom of the video frame tear.
If you want to "HD" remaster a flash file and all you have is the SWF, you can force the player to oversample the screen, but as I've mentioned before, it runs out of usable precision at 720p, by the time you hit FUHD (8K) there's no 1/10th subpixel precision to tween animations so everything looks jerky.
Yes, it can
Converting ads to HTML5 is about getting those ads delivered. It's not about killing Flash for the sake of killing Flash.
People who complain about Flash's security issues and pretend that HTML5 is perfect are deluding themselves. It's the devil you know, vs. the devil you don't.
We've seen this every time we go to a new generation of "active content" and yet another way to execute code that the user can't control. Every time, there's a new raft of security holes, but like the emperor's new clothes, we pretend everything's fine until someone finally points out that it isn't. And then, as that one starts to get fixed, we chase a whole new technology for making the same class of mistakes all over again.
APK, we really need to talk...
The online retailer sites changes
No, they cite changes.
Not that I expect anyone do anything about it; Slashdot stories seem to get posted and abandoned. Correcting spelling mistakes that make you look stupid doesn't attract any more advertisers!
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
In firefox you can disable the media stuff in about:config - media.mediasource.enabled. That will at least stop the videos....
I'm glad to see Flash go, but it did offer us an element of control over autoplaying videos, by setting your Flash add-on to "Play if clicked." Now we have been stripped of even that meager choice.
*cites
if effective, Firefox may become my default browser again.
The cesspool just got a check and balance.
Have you considered, I don't know, killing yourself?
Have you considered being on topic or proving apk wrong? You can't! Your childish antics prove it.
yeah, because Putin says so!
I would be willing to bet that by far the vast majority of cases where advertizing networks are spewing out malware (either because they have been hacked or because they didn't properly review an ad that contained malware) are using exploits in Flash to get their malware installed on victims PCs. If more ad networks (especially the really big players like Yahoo, Google/DoubleClick, Microsoft etc) drop Flash and stop serving Flash ads, it will be much harder for malware authors to use dodgy Flash files as a vector for their attacks.
Yes browsers can have security holes in their HTML5 implementations but to exploit that a malware author would need to sniff the OS and browser versions and feed the correct malware to the user depending on which exploits they are potentially vulnerable (which is both harder for malware authors to do and easier for ad networks to detect)
That's a good configuration option! Is there options that are more site specific, like media.mediasource.enable.from ... or media.mediasource.disable.from that might work similar to hosts.allow hosts.deny?
I've been using an ad blocker for only a year. So, for me the ad blocker replaced the flashblocker - and with ublock the ad blocker now actually saves you CPU and memory. Next step would be to block javascript on some sites but what pain to micromanage that.
Six years back or so, you only had to block flash and then the web was perfectly usable with an old CPU and 512MB RAM (but don't block flash and you quickly accumulated ten objects, grinding all to a halt)
In 2004, you didn't need to block flash, you needed a pop-up blocker instead (hopefully built-in)
In 2000, you just ran IE 5 or Netscape with no big need to care about shit..
Stuff changes.
Is your fabled apk available as a browser extension?
I'm not quite sure. They are currently using a whitelist from mozilla as the html5 player is experimental (media.mediasource.whitelist). I suspect somebody will hack together an addon to do it though if there's not one already.
For years and years, I've put up with ads. Yes, I heard you guys talk about AdBlock here and elsewhere, but I've always learnt to ignore them, even fairly distracting ones.
Then came the really "in your face" ads with automatic audio, giant sizes, and irremovable ones which obscured content. Irritating, but not a deal breaker. I've got a thick skin, or so I thought. I can deal with all that crap, especially if it helps pay for the site's bandwidth (though I never bother with ads personally, at least not consciously).
End of story right? Oh no,.... they just had to go further didn't they. Then came the ones that suck up all my CPU, losing me money in electricity, heating up the CPU (so I can't have the fan quieter), and generally causing the PC to slow down. I like to open up many tabs in my browser, and this easily eats up the CPU in all four of my CPU cores. Same with the two cores on my laptop.
Since I realized what was happening more clearly, I now hate the ad networks of course, and also hate the CPU management in Chrome and other browsers (Shift+ESC is oaky, but no maximum CPU limit for each process?), and you know what? I even hate Windows for not allowing better/easier CPU management/priority of the processes. Yes, no ability to throttle the percentage of CPU used for a process, let alone be able to define the limits independently for each process. And yes I know there are various apps, but not having this feature by default is insane, and so typical of the mindset at Microsoft.
I installed AdRemover for Chrome (higher rated than Adblock by the looks of it), and have never looked back.
Goodbye ads forever.

Poor Flash. You are Tesla to HTML5's Edison. Your ideas were grand, and you ushered in an era of unprecedented technology, yet you take the backseat to a loose collection of other people's ideas. Never fear. It will come full circle.
Ok, a virustotal scan of its installer reveals that it contains a trojan. That's some pretty big proof right there.
The Google Play Music service still requires Flash. Google is not completely free of the Flash dependency yet.
You can easily disable most problematic parts of HTML5 in Firefox via about:config. The already mentioned, media.mediasource.enabled, a lot of the dom.* settings like dom.storage.enabled, and so on. It's just a matter of deciding what is right for you.
Flash also helps connect with devices, whereas hardware connectivity is still sketchy and not really supported. Case in point, I have a website that a user takes a photo of themselves to sign in for services to be rendered, and thus far, only flash, silverlight, etc. similar technologies (not native in the browser and restricted TO the browser) are available for all browser versions.
Have you considered being on topic or proving apk wrong? You can't! Your childish antics prove it.
Another AC here, I have a question for APK. Now that the media business have gotten wise to ad blocking, they are not only going to switch to hosting ads in obfuscated inline HTML5 code, but they are also going to be (re)hosting the ad content from the same domain they serve the page from. How would host files help then, you'd have to block the site you want to visit.

APK is apparently too fucking stupid to do this at the ROUTER level where it's most effective, AND he's tying to get your fucking information.

I use Nod32 and never had this problem with a custom hosts files for development work. Odd, maybe a setting in APKs host is not really safe as it is a huge host file.
In this day and age I use NortonDNS and do blocking at my router. I advise to do the same. It is easier and your protect your cell phone and other home devices too. I want some ads to go thru after they have proven not to be assholes which is what adblock is. To get whitelisted you can't be going to another 3rd party, have vidoe, sound, or evil tracking. SO I use that so slashdot gets revenue when they use ehtical ads and lose money with unethical ones

Flashblock also has the option of conditionally blocking HTML5 video in the same way it can deal with Flash and Silverlight. Not at all difficult to block categorically.

Attention: Immediate Action Required
RE: Experimental project APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2
Background researchers began experiment project APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 by running the download in a locked-down VM on a server inside a concrete bunker in a secure desert location with a 3-mile safety radius, as per protocol GREY BARRIER. No immediate problems were detected, but after three days maintenance workers began complaining of "lost time", unable to account for up to five hours of their actions.
Defensive protocol was upgraded to PARTISAN FOREST, and all human contact ceased, but the minds of the affected workers continued to deteriorate. After the murders, the decision was made to cut power to the experiment. After the required 24-hour wait, a team of researchers investigated the bunker. What they mutated into still lives, and is being cared for as part of project ANTIQUE RAILWAY.
As this was a class-3 mutation, protocol was followed and the test site was destroyed by the required nuclear device. Unfortunately this only destroyed the bunker, and project APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 now hovers 30 feet above the crater floor, and is radioactive in addition to being a class-3 psychic hazard. It has begun to grow tentacles.
Summary and Recommendation: project APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 must be destroyed before the tentacles reach the ground and it gains mobility. Recommend special operations team SMILING SAM be tasked with its destruction, given their track record with similar anomalies.
Hosts files suck, because they don't support wildcards. You have to know the full hostname of the ad server in advance. It's much better to set up your own local name server and have it act authoritative for entire ad domains. So when DoubleClick adds another pool83.east-19.srv.doubleclick.net to their server farm, you're already blocking it without having to change anything.
There's even a three-letter guy (djb) who makes a nice little name server and *doesn't* spend hours a day spamming Slashdot!
I couldn't care less whether your hosts solution works or not.
What I *do* care about is that the way you ejaculate posts all over Slashdot is indistinguishable from the problem you're purporting to solve.
In other words, go fuck a cactus you spamming troll.
Lots of people disagreed with him back then, most vocally anyone connected to Adobe, but he knew what the future held and boldly took that first step.
I remember quite a lot of Android advocates claiming that Android was better than iOS because it allowed Flash while iOS didn't. Flash games were quite a thing around that time and there was a lot of hand wringing over them being disallowed on Apple products. Of course blocking Flash was the right decision and nobody aside from some advertisers still seems to think it is a good technology. Curious how opinions change...
How can a browser bypass the hosts file? I thought the host file was an OS level feature.
Oh, and yes to that other AC post about waiting times. It seems the allowed time between posts has jumped considerably.
In 2000, the internet was painless. I heard the windows lusers had some trouble tho.
Exactly
And the other really ridiculous thing is that HTML5 is often more of a system hog than Flash was.
I've seen ads that move dozens of CSS layers (without transforms) which include blurs, box shadows, etc. The page slows to a crawl.
Welcome to the new Flash.
I'm still using a Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz with 8GiB of RAM. So my computer today is half the speed of your older computer.
Those fucking people in marketing think they can rape my internet connection, my monthly quota and my CPU cycles to display their fucking shit. Well, screw them. I gave them a chance, they pushed it too far with Flash. I removed Flash from my system. They've done the same with HTML5 so now for the first time in my life, I'm running Adblock because these fucking marketing imbeciles don't know when to stop.
http://www.homestarrunner.com/flashisdead.html
No shit sherlock. Auto-executing flash was never required, and with extensions such as Flash block and etc, wouldn't even be visible when another advetriser would instead love to have exposure instead.
Oh, yet another "sky is falling" post.
Flash only dies if browsers stop supporting them, and in that case, someone will write a standalone player in order to recover all those old flash games that are worth keeping (or recompile them to .exe, etc.)
In 2000, you just ran IE 5 or Netscape with no big need to care about shit..

See subject: Kaminsky redirect poisoning flaw anyone? DNS also eats power for NO GOOD REASON and it consumes more CPU & RAM than hosts do, and it has far more complex rulesets than hosts do by far.
HOWEVER:
Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other. I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favorites @ top of hosts (20 of them beating indexing past 2++ million records).
It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.
Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory (hosts are cached like any file is), additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off the slower usermode clientside DNS cache service, instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).
The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.
I use REMOTE FILTERING DNS SERVERS that help block out malicious sites/servers/hosts-domains via DNSBLs (not locally here as a separate redundant wasteful recursive server or a service/daemon).

Nobody validly technically proved my points wrong http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
* Just moddowns, & abused ones @ that as was done to that post of mine you all can't prove wrong!
(Man, lmao - you aren't convincing ANYONE of the validity, efficiency, or efficacy of your INFERIOR 'souled-out' inefficient browser addons with those bogus downmods you know... you're convincing others I am right as rain instead!)
My motives? Altriusm, & truth!
To show a BETTER more efficient SUPERIOR WAY of not only blocking things like ads (which almostalladsblocked doesn't even do RIGHT fully anymore by default since it was bribed NOT to proven here from a reputable source http://www.businessinsider.com... ), and FAR MORE in terms of online threats (botnets, trackers, spam/phish, trackers, etc.) that almostalladsblocked, ublock, ghostery, & privacybadger just cannot do @ all.
APK
P.S.=> The MORE you bogusly downmod me, the more I turn it around & post it again, BURNING YOU OUT OF YOUR MODPOINTS, & you run dry of them (I never do in being able to post here - NO limits) - So, I am outright LAUGHING @ YOU ALL for your "women-like" behaviors in your bogus downmods + illogical off-topic ad hominem attacks that always fail, lol - you just end up making me look GOOD & yourselves?

See subject - you're not only a LIAR, but you're also an INCOMPETENT MENIAL (a user with a better password only, face facts: MINUS CODERS LIKE MYSELF THAT CREATE TOOLS FOR YOU TO USE? You're helpless...)!
You believe in "eggshell security" which fails per this article today -> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...
SINCE A TRULY COMPETENT NETWORK ADMIN WOULD DO FAR MORE THAN MERE PERIMETER LEVEL SECURITY @ ROUTER LEVEL stupid!
(Right down to the endpoints/network nodes level in PC workstations also using tools you already have in hosts + firewalls (vs. "piling on 'MOAR'" that's inefficient & not nearly as effective in slower usermode browser addons)).

"Windows 10 has hardcoded IPs and bypasses HOSTs." - by Khyber (864651) on Saturday August 22, 2015 @01:02PM (#50370415)
Windows ONLY bypasses hosts files for Windows update (Win8 & below that) & for the STUPID "telemetry" in Windows 10 (this is going to KILL Windows 10, mark my words - nobody likes tracking -> http://localghost.org/posts/a-... ) - test it yourself.
Only an INCOMPETENT FOOL would use an OS like that (a fool like you evidently).
APK
P.S.=>
"Browsers can bypass HOSTs as well." - by Khyber (864651) on Saturday August 22, 2015 @01:02PM (#50370415)
WTF? Then they'd be bypassing the IP stack itself, hosts are part of it... & since that's impossible? You're further showing you're a COMPLETE IMBECILE as well as a lying moron - others here told you the same as I have on this note, you utter fool... apk
VirusTotal tests prove you wrong Khyber https://www.virustotal.com/en/...
+
https://www.virustotal.com/en/...
That made you look like the BIGGEST IMBECILE OF ALL TIME ON /. & using VERY RECENT VirusTotal tests of my app showing it's clean from malicious intent by 57 antivirus programs, moron! Yes, it includes NOD32...
So - Tell us how NOD32 finds my ware a "malware" stupid, when a VERY RECENT SET OF VIRUSTOTAL RESULTS SHOW 57 ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM PROVING IT'S CLEAN?
(Yes, the results include NOD32 there... lol, I am LAUGHING @ YOU & so is all /. today)
* :)
ROTFLMAO!
APK
P.S.=> As to the rest of your bs & incompetence illustrated, point by point? See here-> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... you utter moron & obviously menial undereducated STOOGE incompetent in computing - especially security!

See subject & tell us: How'd "eating your words" taste? http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
* :)
(All of /.'s going to see that EVERY TIME YOU POST from now on Khyber... you have FUCKED yourself!)
APK
P.S.=> I love it, lol... thanks for proving my points, & proving you're a completely incompetent imbecile also! apk
See subject: Saves 2++mb on the download size & it's no virus as I have proven stupid https://www.virustotal.com/en/... AND https://www.virustotal.com/en/... in a VERY recent test of the program itself dumbass... lol!
* Why do you THINK Aryeh Goretsky of NOD32 cleared it?
APK
P.S.=> That's why stupid - NOW: IF they're flagging SFX rar files as "malware"? They have FUCKED UP large & have a false positive + BAD RULES for testing based on that bs (iirc, my tests recent, more recent than your own on the LATEST MODEL OF MY PROGRAM & proof enough you had to "eat your words" Khyber)... apk

Advertisers can't trust webmasters' alleged click counts. If that was going to be profitable, it would've happened a LONG time ago... it hasn't since it's not profitable.
Pretty simple: Inlined ads don't pay.
APK
P.S.=> Bottom-line: Hosts also do a LOT MORE than block ads as I have shown & they do FAR MORE, for FAR LESS in resource consumption too:
http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
Hosts yield more speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity, using something you already natively have that's also far more efficient, doing MORE with less (vs. addons especially in slower usermode totally inefficiently as well vs. hosts & all the proof you need from reputable sources documenting it is in that link above (only downmods vs. it though, proving my points))
Fact:
Hosts also do FAR MORE GOOD things than "almost all ads blocked" & the like.
Hosts do more that addons, that can't do the same by a longshot (& "AlmostALLAdsBlocked" doesn't even DO its job anymore by default http://www.businessinsider.com... since it was bribed not to & it doesn't work on MS Edge either (IE successor, hosts do))... apk
The 2/57 showing your "evidence" = false positives. SFX rar install's != viruses.
FACT you can't deny:
My program itself's also PROVEN clean, in its actual executables, per these very recent tests
https://www.virustotal.com/en/...
AND
https://www.virustotal.com/en/...
APK
P.S.=> In fact, I think I'll just RESUBMIT the program executables again SO THEY ARE MORE RECENT & CURRENT, just to make you "eat your words" (again) & to see you SQUIRM, worm, lol... apk
Khyber fails again vs. apk http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
Right @ VirusTotal here https://www.virustotal.com/en/... AND here https://www.virustotal.com/en/... BillyGates.
Some "FYI": I don't SHIP A HOSTS FILE WITH IT!
I let users create their own from the 10 reputable sites in the security community it gets its data from...
They also host & RECOMMEND it no less, via folks @ MalwareBytes (a top employee of theirs no less) http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl...
* They've SEEN & VERIFIED its sourcecode too...
APK
P.S.=> Someone's AWFULLY afraid of my program, considering they've STOOPED TO THIS "low of lows" attempting to smear my good name & this program of mine (Mainly Khyber the blatant IMBECILE shown here on that account via facts & proofs I used on him showing his sheer incompetence -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... ) - doesn't take a brain to realize it's either malware makers/botnet herders (doubt it, they care the least, they just make more bad wares & sites + botnets like doritos in response), webmaster & advertisers (who bought out &/or bribed addon makers in ABP+, AdBlock, & ghostery no less, talk foxes guarding your henhouse, lol), or INFERIOR COMPETITORS (in browser addons)... apk
With firefox i still have to use an addon, which adds html5=1 to youtube urls. Embedded videos i.e. on twitter always use flash, too.
Flash has it's inherent problems , but lately the bigger problem is a webpage freezing until all the Ad's load. They could at least host the Ad's on the same server. I know part of the delay is looking up your special cookie for each Ad so you can be targeted.
-Eric
See subject: Part of the IP stack itself, & more efficiently doing more w/ less (Far less resource consumption, & messagepassing overheads in SLOWER usermode for addons vs. hosts in kernelmode)!
APK
P.S.=> They're also FAR easier to manage as far as their file (easily understood 2 column entries line by line you can edit in a texteditor like notepad, giving YOU the user FAR MORE & EASIER CONTROL of hosts data (vs. say, regular expressions work in browser addons like "almostalladsblocked" OR dns rules tables) & with only 1 single file that gives users more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity - doing far more than *ANY* browser addon does by miles (& for less, using what you have already natively built-in to the OS IP stack itself vs. "bolting on 'MOAR'" for no good reason, especially again considering how overheads + complexity laden addons are, & MOST are 'sold-out' to advertisers (ghostery, adblock, & adblock plus) NOT EVEN FULLY DOING THEIR JOB by default because of that)... apk

P.S.=> Lastly? FTFY:
"Yea, try again. It's called a live-heuristic analysis. Something Virustotal DOES NOT DO." -
It sure put YOU away easily showing NOD32 doesn't show my program as 'dirty', that's certain... & don't you mean (hence the "FTFY" above):
"Yea, try again. It's called Khyber can't do virus analysis right & can't think plus his mouth wrote checks his ass can't ca$h which are bouncing badly as I spank his ass for his bs. Being CORRECT is something Khyber DOES NOT DO!"

(That is, unless YOU know of a way that .ini files or .txt files are "viruses", lol).
APK
P.S.=> Khyber, please (lmao) - posting by ac now isn't saving face for you - ESPECIALLY AFTER YOUR NUMEROUS BLUNDERS QUOTED & CORRECTED here by "yours truly" & accurate facts (the very thing you're shown you're NOT "big on", lol, that's certain & YOU MADE IT SO) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...

Hosts redirect known bad sites to 'nul' essentially: A good thing!
* Your problem with that is WHAT, exactly? That YOU aren't & weren't smart or skilled enough to create something that does that + FAR more from a higher cpu serviced level of operations, with less context-switch & messagepassing overheads (for considerably less than 'competitors' do, 'souled-out' & crippled as they are by default)??
Yes, obviously.

try downloading the file with the avast web shield on, avast will (rightfully) block it as malware. And I will say it again: VIRUSTOTAL IS SCANNING THE INSTALLER, NOT THE .EXEs, SO THE INSTALLER ITSELF CONTAINS MALICIOUS CODE.
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d52f661aee62cdee9a465eae7ec036adec4851348894cd4ada5684a6e82f57ed/analysis/1440531469/
Oh would you look at that, avast now detects a win32:Trojan-gen in there. And, with time, after I've reported it to the other antivirus providers, the other antiviruses will too.
Have a nice day apk.
So I've just reported it to a crapload of AV providers, and am awaiting their conclusions.
False positive based on a winrar sfx installer? See subject...
Only 2 antivirus of 57 say that, so "gosh, I wonder who is right" here? The exes are perfectly fine. I've proven that.
APK
P.S.=> Time to get AVAST to pull this bs, & I've done it before with several others, time to just do it again - Besides, these "antivirus" companies are on their last legs anyhow & aren't effective, NOW SO DESPERATE they're actually making fp's on STUPID RULES like this one appear to be on WinRar SFX files which ARE NOT VIRUSES! apk
