Title: Secutiry Issue o.o (Nevermind, Le lock please)
Post by: IcyFrost on April 16, 2014, 05:38:46 pm

Another help thread, I'm sorry u.e
Anyways..... Last night, I was on the FH forum. Anyone know how the screen kind of fades when installing an exe file on Windows 7 or 8? Ex:

Yep. Again, on the Index page of FH when this happened.
Program name: ~Insert random letters and numbers~.exe
Verified publisher: Unknown
File origin: Hard disk on this computer
So this random exe was basically asking for computer Administrator rights.... Again, clicked on no ads, the only thing open was the FH index. Because of the random name, pretty sure that its not a java update.... /NotgettingonFHforumsforawhile u.e

Is this perhaps a new computer you are working on?
Cause i looked the verified comp in Google and its kinda like a java thing.

Did you perhaps click any of the adverts that are on the forum?

It doesn't seem to be a program that will hurt your pc..
But myeh..
I've never Heard of this software Before, but Reading the link Feareh posted it does seem as if it has something to do with Java.

No, this isin't a new computer, but one that is around a month old. Updated Java a few days ago, so that's why I said that it cant be from Java. Unless they push out an update every few days... o.o

I feel that, maybe one of the ads on the page at the time did this? If so, they should have made that software more sneaky. Whose going to give it admin rights?! The only programs I have installed are FH, Gimp, and iTunes. (For a time, Blender too, but should have done the custom install on it :>)

It possibly is something to do with Java, I'll look around that forum some more xD Also, Reckless,

Clicked on no ads, the only thing open was the FH index.

Next time I see it, I'll try to get a screenshot.

My apologies for asking something you had already made clear.
I tend not to read full texts, but Reading parts of them and then summing it up in my head.
Nevertheless. I doubt this is a harmful software. I can have a look if someone knows more about it though.

First of all, it's fine Reckless, and second, guess who showed its face again.... Yep. Wouldn't let me take a screenshot. All I know is that the name of the program is something along the lines of Nero.. Or maybe Nreo.. Idk. It starts with an 'n' xD
But what confuses me is that the program name was a random string of letters and numbers but now it's not... u.e
I don't think it's java anymore. Whatever it is, I'll run CCleaner and Kaspersky.

Thanks for chur help Feareh and Reckless! :)
