GameBase64 v07 Mac Spyware found

Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:24 pm

Just a heads-up for Mac users. I downloaded the latest collection from a torrent found on Pirate Bay and then run a scan through it. I found a spyware called Spector located in Deadenders.zip inside the Tapes collection.
Just though you might want to know since there's a Mac version of GameBase64 now.

Not used Pirate Bay torrents, but I'm guessing this is just a false positive as deadenders.zip just contains a .tap file which is not suitable for native running on anything but on a c64 emulator.

I've optimised/cleaned the TAP file so as well as zipping smaller it should get rid of any false positives.

Nice work - better safer than sorry I guess and yes, anti-spyware programs have been know to throw up a few strange results now and then.
