I interpret a lack of response as ignorance of what I am asking.
LavaSoft, which is included in the installation files without the user having the option to either remove it or choose not to have it installed on their PC, poses a security risk.
It will generate alerts repeatedly if it is present on the server.
Strictly speaking, I believe that both this and version 1 of this should have been removed from AHK pages.
Additionally, the "just" copy-convert-paste method used here should be mentioned.
As of today, I would advise anyone who wishes to use this in their business to avoid it as the risk outweighs the benefits.
Hi Krd,
I have been busy and didn't have a good answer, in-between managing accusations of theft.
I have extracted the application as to not require installation. Whatever adware that gets installed does not as apart of this app.
Moreover, if you truly believe 2014 adware is something that poses security risks in 2023, maybe staying safe is better. Without reading the specifics, this is likely a neutralized threat.
"I believe that both this and version 1 of this should have been removed from AHK pages."
That's a strong statement before you try this one, it's open source you couuld have looked.
I feel you are doing damage by denouncing because "I interpret a lack of response as ignorance of what I am asking."
You could have looked at the source code.
It seems you have a history with this application. Can you provide details or forum links to where this has been debated or acknowledged in the past?
You hopefully can see from my position, without context, I see an app with almost a decade of use and representation in this forum. I will need something aside from your word showing risk, otherwise you could be the adware (;
Cheers m8, Happy friday
