-Tuxman (April 27, 2018, 09:25 PM)

I'd think so.  I'd not heard of that forum software... I assume you use it somewhere.  Can you give a short rundown on why you like it?

Stripping formatting from text clips.
Keeping formatting/rich text

-DougWeller (April 27, 2018, 05:59 AM)

with mouser's CHS:
the last clip copied is with formatting (but can easily be pasted as plain text). Older clips are all plain text.

-tomos (April 27, 2018, 02:13 PM)

When I say stripping formatting, I mean taking out tags and such also.  Very useful when copying text from code

Probably what I ought to do is just use mouser's automatic screenshotter and then just bug him to add the extra features I'd like to see.

I guess my point was that when poking around the code, you could look for the settings for mencoder.  It was just curiosity speaking, rather than any inclination in either direction.

ffmpeg instead of mencoder

-Deozaan (April 25, 2018, 05:50 PM)

Doesn't MEncoder use ffmpeg?  What's the benefit of the change, other than to reduce the number of codecs supported?

-wraith808 (April 26, 2018, 07:37 AM)

I don't know. I've never used or heard of mencoder until Chronolapse asked me for it so it (Chronolapse) could compile my images into video. But Chronolapse seems to have some important quality settings for mencoder which are not configurable, which led to really low quality (highly compressed) videos even if they were HD+ resolution. So in my searches for how to manually convert images to a video almost all search results said to use ffmpeg.

-Deozaan (April 26, 2018, 10:17 AM)

From. what I understand (which is admittedly not vey much), MEncoder uses ffmpeg behind the scenes, and requires that it be available It merely serves as a layer to have the correct settings for ffmpeg to utilize the settings for a variety of codecs. Here's a stack overflow article that makes me think I'm not far off in my understanding.

-4wd (April 25, 2018, 05:49 PM)

I wouldn't.  In many jobs they view using an unregistered VPN as you are doing something wrong.  Even if the policies don't say that, it can get a side-eye.

Wraith, Kalos don't indicate anything on their systems, I've got six systems (five Win10Pro + WHS2011) plus one completely brand new Win10Pro VM with no other programs and yet ... nothing ...

Windows 10 on both, with MBAM/Defender running.

I think if you are typing over an https connection via a browser you may have some protection

-MilesAhead (April 25, 2018, 10:40 AM)

Nope.

https://privatebrowsingmyths.com/

https protects the information that is being transmitted.  not the nature of the transmission.  And that data is still not secure, especially if they use a proxy.  Best practice?  Pretend that it's all open, and don't do anything that you don't want anyone to see.

Now I'm going to guess that Deozaan uses Chrome?

-4wd (April 24, 2018, 03:38 PM)

Yep. I'm using Vivaldi, which is Chrome-based.

But note that it wasn't Chrome/Vivaldi that flagged it for me. It was Windows Defender's real-time protection.

-Deozaan (April 24, 2018, 04:43 PM)

There goes that idea, was hoping you'd say Chrome.

Now it's even stranger since we're both using Vivaldi and Defender on the same file and yet I don't get any hit from Defender, even when I scan it after download.

Makes absolutely no sense ...

-4wd (April 24, 2018, 06:50 PM)

If it makes you feel better, I'm using Chrome, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes, and none of them gave any indication.

I installed Jdowloader2 and this horrible software changed my Firefox search engine to horrible bing.com!
I wonder how can I revert it back and what other 'alterations' it made to my system??

-kalos (April 22, 2018, 12:19 PM)

Were you not change (back) the default search engine and home page yourself (?)

And can you elaborate on the 'fake google results'?

-tomos (April 24, 2018, 02:51 PM)

I've seen it before on infected systems.  They hijack any searches to do it on another platform and make it look pretty similar to google.  Changing the search engine doesn't change this; it's an extension/plugin/BHO.

I changed that in the prior post to not be link, because archive.is shows it linking to some sketchy sites.  I'll leave it, but you might want to look at using a more reputable site to host your downloads- perhaps even just attach it here?

It scans through the url doesn't it?

Just in case, I downloaded it, and scanned the file (Install JDownloader.rar) with Malwarebytes.  Nothing.

I then uploaded that to virustotal.

https://www.virustot...211b7d581f/detection

There are a few, but I think it's a heuristic failure or something, looking at the results.  It does have adware in it, apparently, which might as 4wd put it, cause the symptoms stated if installed.

I don't care enough to go further than that.
