"exe." files????????????????
i have a cute little file, but it is an "exe." file.
can these be used on the Napsterites forum??? if not, can i save it to another format???? just wonderin'. thanks! |
Hi nanook,
simply upload the file somewhere and post a link to it. Check the guidelines for allowed linking (no program cracks etc.). As always, I advice everybody to use extra caution when downloading any executables from sources beyond well-known and reliable (your call) websites. Use an updated virus scanner before running any such EXEs. - tg ;) |

Ad-Aware is a good tool for spotting and removing spyware but it does not help you with the virii. - tg ;) |
As TG said Ad-aware only looks for known spyware references in your Registry and files on the harddrive.
If you need Anti-Virus software (and it sounds like it) go here: http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.cfm It's configurable, it's good, it's updated, and best of all - it's free. Also - just because you've had a file and you haven't noticed it doing anything doesn't mean it's not a virus/worm. Many worms work quietly in the background using your computer to ping flood another system. You might never notice it. |

Hey little tank girl, ad aware is now up to 5.5:BB:

Thanks for the correction, Mike! :KSY:
I also updated the link itself to Lavasoft's new US site. - tg ;) |
gee thanks Malk, tg, and Mikey!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here i thought i was protected from viruses. I could have one right now as we speak, cause my brother uses outlook express for sending me funny stuff. malk........i'm downloading that free avg 6.0 right now. u guys can't even imagine how much i've learned about my computer and the internet from the old days and into the Napsterites. i TRULLY appreciate your thoughtful information and responses. i'll be a "geek" before u know it:BL: to all of u (yeah, tg..u get a kiss too):kiss: :tu: |
I think the only thing you can physically leave on this forum is text. The rest can be linked to, but needs to be hosted somewhere online. For example, if I want to post an mp3 here, I could put it in my free online storage space provided by my internet provider, and then provide the link to it.
Actually, my internet provider only provides about 5 megabytes of space. I would like to have at least like 100 megabytes, so I could post some large files. They also ban exe files, so if I wanted to post one, I would have to change the extension, and someone would have to rename it after downloading it. Nanook, send me your cute little exe file. |
