MiniReview of Linkman URL Organizer and Search Tool
tranglos:
I've just imported a test database and Linkman was able to import "Bookmarks Toolbar" as a folder, including all content. Is there a possibility you could send your FF3 bookmark file

Done, thanks a lot!

When I first imported my Firefox bookmarks last year the Bookmarks Toolbar came in as a folder and all folders under it came in too. Weird.

Hi Folks,
Here is another current false positive by A-squared (Emsi) looking at Linkman, with the heuristic component on.
[2388] C:\Program Files\Linkman\Linkman.exe detected: Heuristic.Dialer.RAS!A2
I mention it here because it can be very frustrating trying to get even the simplest false positive corrected through the anti-virus bureaucracies -- as I learned through a difficult Emsi experience which flagged a task manager on another system.
Emsi also tends to put VNC programs as medium risk, also sometimes Network or FTP references, however those are mostly not files but registry entries, so far less of a concern. And gave popups on a UBCD4 iso until I restricted the scan (note, I did not find an "exclude folder" method which would have made it easier, only include). And Emsi put three VNC files into quarantine without asking -- although it was easy to put them back.
There was one other file reference, other than the Linkman false positive, that I am researching. However most of the side stuff I can put on another thread, if of interest. Here I just want to mention the Linkman false positive.
Later I hope to get back to the features and all the ins and outs of using Linkman, including some questions and issues about the merging of files and the ins and outs, pluses and minuses, of the Dropbox connection.
Shalom,
Steven Avery

Hi, Steven. Experiences similar to the ones you've described finally led me to give up on a-squared. I uninstalled it from my computer and haven't been sorry. That's not to say that I've given up on anti-malware programs, just on a-squared (and AVG). Right now the ones I've got on my computer are SpyBot, AdAware 2008, SuperAntiSpyware, and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. I run scans with one or another of them pretty regularly, but since I lead an amazingly boring computer life, they tend not to find much.

The problem is that they don't see it as a false positive. All that Heuristic.Dialer.RAS!A2 means is that Linkman has the ability to dial a ISDN/Modem connection (Tools | Settings | Connection), nothing more. This feature is turned off by default and not harmful in any way. All that A-squared does is analyze Linkman.exe and look if it links to the Microsoft RAS (Remote Access Services) API.
-----------------------------
We have a new build out, 7.8.0.12.
Major changes:
- fixed import of Firefox 3 bookmarks modified by external programs
- fixed import of Favorites modified by Foxmarks
- removed Chrome import, until Google decides to stop playing around with the data format
- Linkman now auto-corrects links to local files with wrong space convertions in file names
