Pidgin: Trojan detected by AVG

Submitted by mcchico on April 1, 2008 - 11:51pm

I have been using AVG Free for many years and never have detected anything. I installed Pidgin today and while copying to a backup drive AVG detected one of the DLL files as a trojan. I can not remember the file name since it automatically took care of it. But there must be a DLL in the installation file that is either a true trojan, or a DLL that has a name identical to a trojan and that is why it is flagged from the database. Either way, I thought I should let you know. For now I deleted the program.

Thanks!

Pidgin account forgetting

Submitted by morfeasrev on April 1, 2008 - 4:06am

Today I upgraded (installed on top) to 2.4.1 and pidgin portable asked me to make an account (I had already set my accounts to the last version).
After a while I closed Pidgin and restarted it.
Pidgin was then asking again for my account. And so on...
I had the same problem with 2.4.0 but I'm not sure about earlier editions.
So :
(1)I installed my old Pidgin Portable (2.2.x or 2.3.x I think) and then
(2)installed the official Pidgin 2.4.1 from pidgin.im to my computer (which causes no problems).

Miranda: Anyone got the IRC plugin server list?

Submitted by SpLuDgE on March 26, 2008 - 2:47am

G'day.

It seems that i decided to install and use the IRC plugin while the Miranda site is having dramas - there is no download server and currently no forums either.

I was wondering if any fellow portable miranda users might have the IRC server list file (not included with plugin) that you might be kind enough to send to me?

If you happen to be reading this, you have the list and you are willing to send it, please send it to polymorphing {]at}] gmail {[dot]} com

Today I testet the 'Norman Malware Cleaner':

The scanner told me, that it found Vundo in Portable Pidgin:

X:\PortableApps\PidginPortable\App\GTK\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\engines\libthinice.dll

So I decided to double-check the file with:
