Duplicate Account Creation

As detailed in the forum guidelines, creating additional accounts is not permitted:

One Account Per Person - Only one account per person, please. Sometimes on forum sites, people create secondary accounts to flame other people or to post a second message to their own topic, making it seem like there is more interest or agreement with their point of view. If your account is blocked for abuse, you may not create another one. Accounts may not be shared.

uTorrent app not installing utorrent.exe

Submitted by cannibaljunkie on January 29, 2011 - 6:37pm

I just downloaded the newest version and can't get it to install correctly. When I try to run what is installed it says that utorrent.exe was not installed.

I have also just downloaded Clam (antivirus) but I don't think that's the problem since you have to scan manually.

Any ideas instead of having to go directly to the site? I have it blocked on my network.... :/

Thanks!

TrendMicro Rootkitbuster

Found this great little program, portable (doesn't need installing) but I was wondering with all the recent additions of utilities, can there be one that finds file streams?

P.S. Would any guru here know what a file stream actually is and can they be used to hide malicious content?

PortableApps.com Or my Internet?

Is anybody else having issues with PortableApps.com lately? It's hard to tell since I seem to be having issues with my Internet. It could also be my imagination but it seems I'm getting "PortableApps is down for maintenance" messages more frequently. Today, for the first time that I can remember I'm actually getting "PortableApps is overloaded" messages. I just want to be sure it's not a problem my end which it could well be. Another thing that made me question it is that we see to be getting a lot of double posts lately, so I'm wondering if other people are indeed having issues.

SourceForge.net has been experiencing an outage across several of their services due to a directed attack against one of their development environments (CVS). To prevent an issue with additional services, SourceForge staff has temporarily disabled new releases (both uploads and mirroring). All staff is on-hand working on a fix.
