Sorry MG, but still!

Hi,
Sorry for the abrubtness, it was fishy for 2 in a row. Now, I am not sure, sounds like a website he links to was probably hijacked after a domain takeover, since its not updated in 4 years. I would appreciate your input, do you think a warning not to use extrnal links in the program is sufficent or removal?

Thanks for your thoughts and patience.

 

Sent you a report MA just now with not seeing your reply, the software is fine from Cronosoft, just tested it, however since the software was released or updated last, a link it has to ThemeXP for more themes could now be a not welcome one, as since 2005 ThemeXP have been adding to the majority of downloads of "themes, screensavers etc" some bundled adware.

I would personally pull the software,

EDIT: unless the makers can remove the link or a you add a very strong warning, but many will not read the warning I fear!

 

I have emailed the author to inform him. Odds are he is unaware. If he updates it, the listing will remain, if I dont hear from him in a few days it will be removed.

Your post probably got lost in the shuffle, start up a new thread with your symptoms.

 

WhenU can normally be found in the Add/Remove programs. Did you just try uninstalling it?

Follow the steps in the below link to properly download the correct version of HijackThis, install it, and run it:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

Then attach a HijackThis log. Also do the below so we can see what got installed:

Let's get an installed programs list from HijackThis!

• Run HijackThis, click Open the Misc Tools section
• Click Open Uninstall Manager
• Click Save List (generates uninstall_list.txt)
• Click Save, to save it to a file where you can find it.
• Attach the uninstall_list.txt file to your next message.

 

Got a response from the author:

Thanks for the info! We have no affiliation with www.themexp.org, but it was the first resources for xp wallpapers, themes and logon/boot screens. Since we don't have such files on our website we'll try to find another website (as clean as possible) to recommend.

 

And again, the author has made the changes for everyone, he was unaware and apologizes, here is his email:

"OK, i changed the links (which are on the CronoSoft server, no need to change the actual exe) to http://themes.belchfire.net/ which seems to have "clean" downloads. Please let me know if it's ok now."

I am checking that out now.
