RE: WLM Safe 4.0 - What is this!
I know it is an old thread and that WLMSafe has been updated and Cila's scripts have been removed, but that doesn't matter. Those aren't the issues here, those things are only examples of issues which are still very valid for any futur script. Hence why I made that post.
- About script using EXEs, COMs => I still feel the same about them. And in 99,999% of all cases those programs can all be replaced with simple script code.
- About that policy that WLMSafe was removed because it 'touched' another (malicious) script => As I said, I rather have a security script doing the same thing with another malicious script in the DB as WLMSafe did than to seeing a perfect valid script being removed because it tries to protect a user from malicious stuff simply because it 'touches' another script.
In such cases that policy is seriously flawed and actually harms the user and an excepting should be made. Even if the malicous script has been removed from the official DB, it might still float around other download sites. Enforcing that policy to the letter makes that people using scripts like WLMSafe are not protected to such particular scripts.
- My comments about uploading scripts to online scanners is still valid.
- Last point, see private forum.
