lakitu Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 When people submit mods, skins etc, do you scan the files for viruses before making them available for download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hindy Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 My email scans my zips for virus etc so I guess yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 if you are referring to the jkii.net site, i believe they do. if they wouldnt do it and some idiot sends in a virus thier whole network could go down. and as for myself, my email checks for viruses before i can open them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Virtually every dangerous virus I've heard can bypass the lackluster "virus scan" on Hotmail. Consider me a man of danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I'm pretty sure they are scanned for viruses. Get yourself a program such as McAfee VirusScan Professional or Norton Antivirus, right click on the file and select 'Scan for viruses'. Problem solved.

Hindy Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Yep Im a Norton Virus scan user, never had any probs. Takes seconds to scan a zip file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I too use norton, in my opinion it's the best and easiest to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I have both McAffe and Norton Virus Scanners, and if you do chose one, I would chose Norton. Thats why I use Norton on my downstairs PC (THE BETTER ONE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 What's McAffe like, as good as norton or what. And is McAffe easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Originally posted by -=ReApEr=- What's McAffe like, as good as norton or what. And is McAffe easier to use. Its basically the same. They both have auto-virus checkers, etc. I would chose Norton over McAffe thoguh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I don't see why. I've had both and I see no difference between the two. I currently have McAfee VirusScan Professional and Firewall on my PC. They are both very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
