Library duplicates detection

Postby old_death » 02 Apr 2014 13:31

Ryo, I'm just sorting threw the commits since v2.6.0.0 to create a change log.

I've stumbled across r9350, where you removed duplicate files detection in the library. That feature was used (AFAIK) to detect viruses duplicating themselves within the library folders with multiple file names in order to get downloaded by other P2P users. You might want to consider adding the feature again. ;)

It is not. Anti-virus software is the only way. On the other side many good downloads has a duplicated files inside.

If you say so... But then maybe we should add anti-virus configuration to the quick start wizard, as from experience I know that only very few users actually know about or use that particular feature.

There is a warning installing antivirussoftware within the installer.
If you don't do, your fault.
No, starters don't know about on the fly building trojans, viruses, malware.
