I think you missed something, sober: ;)

DynEnv 2.1 SkyColor Hotfix DarkerNights

by Captain America (thank you mate!) and here is another, patch by the same Captain America that had not been made public so far: :up:

DynEnv 2.1 SkyColor Hotfix DarkerNights + MurkyWaters

Still waiting for a skycolor / murkywaters compatibility patch not including darkernights. :)

P.S: Beware of Mediafire downloads. Tomorrow I will upload the above patches to subsim.

DO NOT save or run this software as it is a Trojan that will take over your computer. Stop the process immediately, or if you can't, shut down you computer as fast as you can.

How do I know this? Because it has happened to me before and boy did I have problems getting rid of it.

Gap, this is not your fault. It happens with MediaFire and other websites from time to time.

After getting this software stopped, I retried the download and all was well. No problems.

Sorry for the inconvenience mate,
I quoted entirely you message for giving it the needed emphasis.

I knew about the problem, but unfortunately couldn't do without mediafire, because among the various free file storage services, it is one of the most reliable in therms of long permanence of the hosted files, but not in therms of safety, evidently... :-?

This last accident induces me to move all of my small sized files to subsim. I will start doing it from tomorrow. Unfortunately, the problem will persist for mods bigger than 50 Mb (the maximum upload size on subsim), like Dynamic Environment :hmmm:

Wait, probably Captain America has alredy half done the work. Not worth doing it again. :yep:

I will PM him, and then I will let you know or, if you prefer, you can get in touch with him directly :up:

Gap, it's not that big of a problem as long as the guys know about it and are prepared to deal with it. You could contact MediaFire and tell them about it. Copy what I said in my post on it. They could probably get rid of it and all will be ok. At least until the next time. It's seems this is only a random thing and affects random websites. It's not your fault it happened.

Volodya, I didn't mean you or the other 99.999% of your country men. It's the .001% that does this stuff. I think I'd rather have Russian friends more than some of what's here in the US. People here are just going freekin crazy.

Just like the software pirate they caught in Saipan the other day, and got him back here to Delaware to prosecute. He was making millions selling pirated government software, and other types, on the internet. He goofed by selling it in-person to 2 federal US undercover agents. He could get 30 years out of it. Plus 2 US government employees that had bought some of his wares could get 5 years a piece and lose everything... all the perks with their government jobs plus their retirement.

only one thing, when i try to extract with winzip, appear to be corrupted or damaged something file in the optional mods folder.

seems the names(directories) are too long.

Solution at least for me:rename the folder OPTIONAL MODS to om or something within the rar, extract, and work

maybe I can help others here:)

anyway,thanks

Dear Sirs,

I am a MediaFire user. During the last months I have benefited from your hosting services for storing my files and for sharing them with the fellow members of a game modding community. I can say that, so far, I am overall satisfied with the reliability that your fast servers and your policies are granting even to free users, like me.

Nonetheless, I have been recently informed by some of my friends that their computers were infected by a form of trojan when downloading files hosted on your servers. The problem occurs randomly, and is apparently connected with some of the advertising windows popping up during, or just before, the download. This is the last report I have received:

"First time I tried downloading this file from MediaFire tonight I got a warning my computer was infected and I had to run the software program that popped up. This is from a Russian website claiming to be Microsoft Security Essential.... which it is not.
DO NOT save or run this software as it is a Trojan that will take over your computer. Stop the process immediately, or if you can't, shut down you computer as fast as you can.

How do I know this? Because it has happened to me before and boy did I have problems getting rid of it.

After getting this software stopped, I retried the download and all was well. No problems."

I will add that I use to double check the files I am sharing using the latest antivirus programs, and that I am absolutely sure that they are virus free. I will also note that I myself experienced the same problem, even though my internet security program (I use ESET NOD32) managed to block the malware.

As you can see,the problem that I am remarking is real, and in my opinion it would be a shame if it spoiled the good reputation that your Company has deserved in the last years. I hope therefore that you will take the appropriate action to face the issue as soon as possible.

Indeed, Volodya, we were just kidding
We have nothing against your countrymates... we are mad just at...

Yes, using NOD32 here. On my system, it blocks the mediafire popups every so often. I was convinced that it was just an eccess of zeal, so far... :doh:

Guys, can you help me answering thi email by MediaFire's customer support?

Hello Gabriele,

Thank you for contacting MediaFire.

Can you please send us a screen shot of the problem, as well as the source code for the page that it comes from so we can determine who is distributing this file so we can correct the problem, thank you.

And this is all I was able to tell them so far:

Hi Robert,

thank you for your kind and fast reply.

As I have reported, the problem occurs randomly, and I am not therefore able to to provide you right away with the required information. Nonetheless, I have already forwarded the text of your mail to my acquaintances, and I hope I will get in touch soon with some more detail.

Talking about it, would a log generated by an internet security program help your team to track down the web-page diffusing the discussed malware? My antivirus prevents it from being loaded and, as you can imagine, no one is going to open it intentionally.
