bben46 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 @adamscottv - https does not prevent anyone, hacker spammer or your 'friends' on the site from reading whatever you post. The https is to prevent some man in the middle from intercepting your communication with the site - and all they would get is what you posted anyway. :rolleyes: For those who don't know what https really is - it encrypts the communication between you and the site - it is used to prevent what are known as man in the middle attacks - these attacks are used to intercept sensitive data - such as bank account information, credit card numbers, and other data that you would rather not let the bad guys see. The Nexus doesn't ask for any of that kind of stuff. And, we don't want you to post any of it here either. Any monetary transactions are made through an entirely different method that is not accessible through the Nexus sites. This means that the hackers CANNOT steal your credit card numbers here - because those numbers are just not here at all. :laugh: That said, eventually all internet will be using https and the Nexus will follow suit - Not because what https does is actually required for what we do here, but because that will be the standard.

TheThirdRace Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 In response to post #17321524. Oh no worries, I wasn't criticizing anyone.I said "most popular" because I assumed Skyrim was the game that generated the most traffic for the Nexus since it has the most files. If it had been World of Tank or anything else I would have assumed the same for that game.Keep up the good work, it's greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1lvaCe Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Im all for the virus scanning but you said it should take 5-10 minutes? Static mesh improvement mod and interesting npcs have been "scanning" for more than 24 hours :/ btw loving the new cdn download system.

Deleted133263User Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Problem with the system being inconsistent : The new Wrye Bash 305 everyone has been waiting for : The Installer Is blocked for moderation on Skyrim Nexus You can however download the same file from Oblivion Nexus ( files named Installer, and Standalone executeable ) And apparently the same installer file uploaded to Fallout3 Nexus ( file named standalone executeable ) is getting warnings of .. "at least three AV's stating there was something "suspicious" about them. Then I looked up what was so "suspicious" and the answer was that they were compiled by a Microsoft compiler. That's pretty suspicious if you ask me!" If you click the file virus report question mark on each of those files, you will find they all give different results Its an NSIS installer - So quite easy to peak inside with 7zip or WinRAR, no encryption to hide anything I presume all parts of the Nexus are using the same method of checking files. So why the inconsistency ? And why doesn't NMM get the same treatment http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/? http://i.imgur.com/NC5ftLR.jpg Edited August 24, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 The new Wrye Bash 305 everyone has been waiting for : The Installer Is blocked for moderation on Skyrim Nexus You can however download the same file from Oblivion Nexus ( files named Installer, and Standalone executeable ) And apparently the same installer file uploaded to Fallout3 Nexus ( file named standalone executeable ) is getting warnings of Simply means a moderator got around to verifying 2 of the links and not the 3rd. The system consistently flagged all 3, but for some reason a staff member caught 2 of them, but not the 3rd. The FO3 file is different in file size to the Oblivion and Skyrim files, so not a fair test of consistency, and if you check the AV reports you'll see 4 positives on the Skyrim file and only 3 on the Oblivion file. If you check the report more closely TrendMicro, one of the AV programs (and a relatively big one at that) timed out in the Oblivion file scan, and that explains the 3 versus 4 AV positives discrepancy in the reports.

Deleted133263User Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) you'll see 4 positives on the Skyrim file Its under moderation, so the file reports cannot be checked for that file by anyone else. Edit : :) I stand corrected, seems its not under moderation anymore Edited August 24, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCGirl Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Are all files now scanned within the system? One of my house mods has not been done, so was curious as to whether this process is completed yet? Great job on this implementation.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
