Virus/Malware Problems in "Digit" DVD/CD content
Most of us here use the contents of Digit magazine provided DVD/CD freewares and Sharewares. They are doing a great job by providing us loads of freewares and sharewares from every segment. Contents is also provided by outside vendors. Jasubhai Digital Media can't monitor each & every content for Virus and Spywares. Most malwares are active when installed and don't show up by just scanning the exe file. We users install the applications. So most often, we get the malware issues/warnings.
This thread is dedicated to highlight such malware/virus issues which will prevent our PC infected accidently.
Please note that I am not critisizing Digit DVD/CD contents. This thread will also be helpful to Digit and vendors providing the content of DVD/CD.
NOTE: Virus and Spyware warnings are highly dangerous and hence can cause a lot of damage to your system.
Malwares are not as dangerous as Virus or Spywares. Most of them are harmless. These will also be reported in this thread. The decision of installing the malware infected program soley depends upon the user. He/she may neglect the malware warning.
So, I will begin with an issue in this month DVD.
