Why would you be so trusting of something that's willing to give you the option for adware to begin with? It doesn't matter anyway... There is no reason to use minilauncher over wlauncher. How are you so sure? Before installing mini my antivirus completed a full scan with no problems. After I installed it, I immediately checked for viruses and it could no longer complete full scans (would always crash like half way through). Maybe an isolated coincidence, but yesterday was the first time in months I was able to do a full scan, presumably because the scanner got an update for whatever crap mini had installed. I had tried many, many times over the last couple of months to get it to work.
I was still able to do quick scans and I recall it finding one or two things after installing that I had to quarentine and delete. I don't use that comp for anything but writing, school and starcraft, so there aren't a lot of other places I could have gotten something. It's not a case of me being one of those people who looks at random porn sites and then attributes his viruses to something totally innocent. That they have adware at all as an option during installation makes them a pretty good suspect, even if it is 'optional.' It's a little different from yahoo wanting you to install their toolbar (although that's not entirely welcome either).

the instructions for wLauncher installation are not very clear at all, I am @ the first window after installing the file, and I don't know what to click "click Left, Right" ... and last time I tried to dL mini I almost got a virus, so can someone clear that up please? (I dont speak korean)
edit: I think I figured it out... hoping for no viruses edit2: trying to get the RPM/stats in rep to work, not working ;;

I followed XsebT's guide for installing minilauncher ( it's on this page http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=236263¤tpage=18 ) and my antivirus found a supicious file/program called something like analy.exe or natanaly.exe, don't want to reinstall again to find out though . I googled its name and got mostly korean ( maybe chinese? ) sites so I couldn't investigate what that program was. Furthermore, before I deleted the program, I noticed that it autoruns on windows start ( you could see it on windows task manager ) but after deleting it it didn't run anymore and the minilauncher still worked normally. The guide in this thread is pretty much the same and you'll get the same supicious file...

Interesting. The only time I've noticed minilauncher installing stuff on my computer was when I told it to install everything lol (including what you are mentioning)
|
i would be interested in a wlauncher guide as well -.- (mni dont work for me)
|
You don't have to use any install wizard at all... Just unzip the file into a folder in your SC directory...

From cadical's reply on the thread I linked. fyi when you close the program it'll open a page to an advertisement... but I don't think that's anything sketchy. Up to you, I mean it doesn't REALLY matter. You can use chaos launcher, you just won't have wdetector.

|
