You will likely have found this topic during a web search.

We would like to warn you about downloading files which claim to alter or improve MegaGlest. These are most likely not for real but actually just made to install trojans / malware on your computer.

This is an incomplete list of file names known for such malware:
Mega.glest.installer.3.3.5.serials.key.by.Lz0.zip

Please be sure to only download MegaGlest from http://megaglest.org or http://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files (as well as sourceforges' mirror servers) to keep your PC safe.

[off topic - sorry] Just out of curiosity... some days ago, I saw that the forums were full of the word 'termite' and it looked like it had replaced the word 'bug'... for a while I was wondering if it was a prank, or some kind of system where termites were a different grade of bug etc.. then after a while things were back to normal. I wonder if I imagined it all ? :)

Wow judging by the file name it seems their distributing this to have a "serial key generator", for a game that's entirely free with absolutely no serial keys to begin with! :confused:

It was someones attempt to "lighten the mood" by replacing key words with more comical alternatives. It wasn't very popular and was quickly changed back.

Namely mine! :angel:

At any rate, I laugh at the thought of someone actually searching for megaglest with keywords like keygen or serial, seeing it's open source and freeware. Of course, mods should generally be downloaded with care, and it never hurts to pass suspicious files through a virus scan. I would advise against downloading anything posted by someone with a very small post-count, as that could be a bot, though we have not had any trouble with malware appearing on the board yet.

Perhaps for future Glest, we could have "official" torrent links like OpenOffice. That would be debatable or controversial probably, but I believe it would do more good than bad, if any. After all people will probably upload it later. Some will be fine, but some will also be affected. That's why we should have official ones. For mods, I don't really believe people will post NEW mods with viruses or spyware, but most likely when future Glest gets popular (hopefully), they would probably hide them in well known mods/old mods. Especially with Windows Installers, it's very easy for people to do...I think.

lol..."megaglest trainer"? It's all about skillz, mostly. Practice, practice, and practice. Then have fun.

If I was making trojans, writing a spider to go looking for exes that people install and making packages named something close enough to get in search results for that product would be a win.  I wouldn't do any targeting myself, it would just be a dumb script.

And that's exactly what people do. Thus the reason why the majority of "keygens" are viruses. Why would someone waste their time making a ton of pages about their fake keygen when they could just script it like that. Notice how many google results don't always make sense (like a "keygen" or megaglest)?
