In response to post #15564410.

and how do you post that "in response to post # xxxxxxx". I can quote, but i can't figure that one out. I read through the help topic.. i'm more looking for actual forum code aka BB code and simple HTML.

 

 

It's a function that's only available on the site side of the Nexus, not the forums.

 

If you reply to someone from here: http://www.nexusmods.com/games/news/12350/? - using the reply button there, it also links the posts and places it in the correct position.

No reason to use anti-virus/malware whatsoever. It's for people who can't sustain self-control when faced with the chance to download music.mp3.exe.

 

Any executable you download simply open it up in Ollydbg and you'll know 99% of the time if it's malware or not if it's pulling some shady system calls (keyboard hooks are a dead giveaway).

 

As for web attack vectors just disable Javascript in your browser and keep a whitelist of trusted sites you'll allow it to run on. You should do the same for Silverlight and Flash too (Not sure about Shockwave, I don't keep updated with ALL CVEs).

In response to post #15740730.

If you see this "in response to ..." line on the file sites, it's when you quoted a post that was already in reply to another on the forum side. Quoting or editing on the forum side makes these otherwise hidden automated lines visible all of a sudden. Usually you won't see them on the file sites as they're interpreted instead and the post hung into the reply chain.

I'm glad I hadn't been on Nexus for AGES until a few days after this thing was posted... I'm one of those people who clicks on things that look interesting and hopes for the best ^^;

Your first sentence hurt my brain. Always use anti-virus/anti-malware. Always.

 

What is anti-virus? I've never heard of it.
