PSA: Malware detected from member's upload

[Scar17]

Hi! Thank you so much to everyone who's answering questions and contributing. It's a shame these things happen :(

I have a question, is the list of infected games final? Or is it still possible that more infected games will be found?

The list is from what the member posted on ASF. For new member to post on ASF, they are subjected to throttling such as 1 thread per hour, all thread is held in the approval queue. Therefore, the member coudn't post many in the span of 1 month.

If you download your game from sources like Tokyo Toshokan or Nyaa Torrents, the same member may have shared more content since they aren't subject to the same throttling.

Unfortunately it's hard to say whether other Uploader/Contributor redownload somewhere else as well.

Add [RJ01524403] to this list, it was also most likely distributed by the well-known jekson5865/hentaigamer**
But I can't vouch for the game uploaded here. It was originally posted on a popular anime tracker similar to nyaa, and this torrent is also indexed by TokyoToshokan. (A hint to the site, because I'm not sure if it's allowed to mention/write names websites)

Why so many worries, just use Free antivirus tools. Many years, use CureIt, from Cd -> Dvd -> Flash.

ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/cureit.exe
Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

If, you still worry, just install Full version, any Antivirus, you get 30 days free, for test.

P.S If, you have Virus, (more important Troyan) , they can ease change, file name, regname. If, they already inside.

If you read the article published by Huorong and uploaded the infected files (if you had any, for example), you'd realize that currently only two antivirus programs detect them: Huorong and Rising, and nothing else. I got infected myself, and the first thing I did was, as an experiment, scan my computer for viruses using AV scanners (KVRT, Cureit, Minersearch), and they found nothing. The most CureIT could find was a modified line in REGEDIT, and that was it. As for the miner itself, it wasn't found.

Is it known for how long had this user been sharing infected files?

ASF does not forbid mentioning other sites, blogs or forums unless spamming.

Is it known for how long had this user been sharing infected files?

First post here is around December 10
