Davidowicza Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Is Autoit Safe? is pretty generic... Depends on what you define as "safe". If you are asking if it is 100% secure, then no, no scripting language is. Could you elaborate more on what you mean by safe? Jeppee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeppee Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Is it safe to use? Is there any trojans or any kind of virus inside the exe? Sorry to be rude, but I want to have know before downloading anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidowicza Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) The download from this website is, yes. But if you are trying to download a random .exe from somewhere else, then maybe? maybe not?

iamtheky Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Ummm, if you have no means to scan binaries against known signatures before installing them, I would certainly recommend doing that first. Not that we are not all trustworthy people, but you are asking users if the product is safe. You might want that attestation from a trusted 3rd party, and not randos on a forum.

Jeppee Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Yes, the downlaod link from this website. Alright, thanks. I tried to google the program about viruses but got no honest answer so I chose to come here and ask. Thank you for helping me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeppee Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I will do that but I wanted to ask some people at the forums aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you expect the honest answer here?

BrewManNH Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Do you seriously think you'd get an answer that would satisfy any criteria? You're asking the people that use it if it's safe, which is a pretty stupid question to ask users of a product. Especially if we had an ulterior motive to get you to download the software so we could own your computer. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

iamtheky Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 You can always up the file to an online tool like VirusTotal, which barring a local AV would be a reasonable step.

iamtheky Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just watch false flags that will occur due to how some of the binaries are packed. In my usage, if the number of engines that pop isn't double digits, it's probably benign. And we applaud your security mindset, but we also do it in a sarcastic and berating manner. We will apologize for that repeatedly during your stay here Jeppee 1 ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeppee Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I don't think asking here is a stupid idea. I think it's a pretty good idea. A lot of new players will see that nobody got a trojan before nor any kind of virus from downloading your program. If anyone had a virus or trojan before from your program then they could write it here and tell me. But I don't expect that to happen since I believe that your program is safe, I just want to have different point of views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
