kgb424 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I downloaded two viruses from this site, one was in the pizzadox plus 27 trainer, the other one was from the crazy trainer by crazy virus, I ran my antivirus software and quaritined these two file saying they had viruses, this is the only place that I have downloaded from in a month and run my antivirus once a month so beware of the trainers as soon as installed the trainers the game started crashing, and my mouse was having problems on the desktop, I have had viruses before and they have acted, the same the other viruses I have had, so not to say that sky or huckleberry pie don't no what they are talking about I think they where for sure viruses trust me, I have had many viruses, cause I download different trainers for my need for speed games, and mod for half life two so I know about viruses sorry to disagree with people Edited January 26, 2008 by kgb424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainers use it so it knows what you're demanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I downloaded two viruses from this site, one was in the pizzadox plus 27 trainer, the other one was from the crazy trainer by crazy virus, I ran my antivirus software and quaritined these two file saying they had viruses, this is the only place that I have downloaded from in a month and run my antivirus once a month so beware of the trainers The Pizzadox trainer was made by a warez group, judging from the NFO file, and references to other warez groups in the readme, but there are some antivirus programs that detect trainer apps as malware, even though they aren't infected at all...

Raymond Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 what kind of anti virus do you use? if u use AVG it will complain all of it is a virus but if you use Eset Smart Security, it will not complain it thats a good anti virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 what kind of anti virus do you use?if u use AVG it will complain all of it is a virus but if you use Eset Smart Security, it will not complain it thats a good anti virus If you didn't understand what he just said, here it is: What anti-virus software do you use? If you use AVG, it will say it's a virus, if you use Eset Smart Security, it will not say it's a virus. I'd recommend it. Yeah, I downloaded a mod for VC and it had that Pizzadox trainer, I just deleted it straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Theres 11 commas and nothing else in that paragraph - pretty tough to read. Sky is right - it complains because trainers work by editing the memory allocated to GTASA. That COULD be used for malicious reasons, but in the case of a trainer it is only being used to help you play GTASA. but if you use Eset Smart Security, it will not complain it biggrin.gif thats a good anti virus Actually antiviruses SHOULD detect it, because it is a potential security risk. If it doesn't detect it, then it shows the antivirus isn't good enough. You can just say "no thanks, I know this looks like a virus, but I know what it does and I want it to run".

Pandora Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 The trainer acts slightly like a virus. Like sky said, it has keylogging and will manipulate (can't think of another word.) your game a little. But it this case, you want it to do that. Thrust me, it's not a virus. My anti-virus once deleted it though.. wasn't all that happy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the antivirus program, you may tell the app which files would you like to ignore, such as a GTA trainer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yep exactly. false positives are good, unless damaging action is taken (eg deletion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
