EXE

Whoever pays you for IT support, pays you way too much. That is the problem with kids who were born after Win95. They have NO IDEA what DOS is…no idea that Windows is not actually an OS. Windows is a GUI built on top of the DOS language. A .bat file is an executable SCRIPT (which is the same thing as saying program) compiled and run thru Windows by CMD.EXE because Windows is NOT an OS…it is a GUI. If you were at a DOS prompt (something you have probably never seen) you would see that you could EXECUTE a .bat file freely and totally separate from CMD.EXE

OMG! Are you serious? CMD.EXE is a DoS shell program. You have no idea what DoS is, do you? .bat exists as an executable file format in DoS and UNIX.

You just moved the goal post. I was talking specifically about the file format which you just said he did not invent. The suit was about a file format, not about making a software that authenticates transactions, and this is a really big difference. You can't just use those definitions interchangeably, IT does not work like this. Words have meanings, especially in IT. Also, .bat file is not even executable, it's simply a script file for CMD, CMD.EXE is the executable that runs a .bat file which contains CMD commands. Now you just proven you really have no clue what you're talking about and you are trying to do some damage control to your fragile ego, after you've been proven wrong. LMFAO 🤣

Yup I've been buying ICP and it's projects like Openchat and EXE since nearly 2023. I got downvoted to hell all 2023 mentioning ICP and am up BIG now. Inverse cc is so real.

I had 200 bucks ripped off from me with a "virus" that was pretending to be Google Sheets extension. I wrote a lengthy comment on a bitcointalk thread about it. The "virus" gets loaded via Brave browser shortcut parameters, however it doesn't just spawn on your pc, I am an avid torrenter and I most likely downloaded an infected EXE for this to have happened in the first place. I later confirmed this because even after deleting the Brave shortcut parameters and the entire fake extension etc, after a few months it still came back. The extension loads a bunch of javascript scripts that do a variety of things: * When visiting blockchain explorer to check an address activity, it will automatically replace the address with scammers address * When you make a transfer from exchange 1 to exchange 2, even if you write the right address and do everything correctly, the moment u press "confirm withdrawal" the address you typed in will be ignored and sent to scam address via script. Everything seems normal until its too late. *Searching for any address on blockchain explorer will land u on the scammers address. *Searching for the scammers address on blockchain explorers will crash your browser If you are wondering, this is still better than being the main victim on someone's botnet list, these types of scripts are usually set n forget meaning the extension itself doesn't give runtime access to your PC. I personally think that the only reason this extension exists is because it's easier to hide from antiviruses saving the criminal some operating costs. If he wanted though, he could just set up a botnet instead, use my network as SOCKS5 proxy (or use HVNC exploit) and manually empty my account without me knowing anything on top having access to basically my entire PC and all my data. Like I said though, if you have this fake extension on your PC, chances are you are also infected with something else like a botnet etc because the extension spawns after an exe infection. I hope this helps someone in need.

Also on that website: [Crypto Fans Are So Dumb They're Clicking .EXE Files Disguised As NFTs](https://futurism.com/nfts-malware-risk) Imagine that, a website called futurism that's anti crypto. Maybe they should rebrand to boomerism 😳

What EXE were you trying to run, just out of curiosity?

So everyone in cyber security has been familiar with VeraCrypt (and it's progenitor TrueCrypt) for years. It's free open source software. I can't think of anyway OP would make money shilling veracrypt. Yes OP is promoting it but it's roughly like them saying "Run Linux so a spiderman EXE can't steal your crypto".

Instant delete every EXE file in the torrent/zip file, you'll be fine

shurfire

I mean, then don't click on shady dapps? It's like someone downloading random EXE files then complaining they got a virus. If you have a lot of crypto and you're trying to invest, there are already plenty of well known and safe methods.

Sounds fishy, don't run EXE files that you don't know anything about.

Executing CAPTCHA.EXE. Prove you are not a robot. Commander Data says "Geordi? A little help here"

At least you can use EMM386.EXE. My 286 is jealous :-(

>I am wondering if a torrent I downloaded the night before is responsible. from The Pirate Bay. it didnt play as a movie and was a .EXE file Yes. Police won't do anything. Don't pirate on the same device you use for crypto.

No True Scotsmann- Bitcoin is the only good ome the others are alt shitcoins. The gambler fallacy- Look at my extreme good luck must be some pattern 750 on scamcoin.EXE Personal incredulity- yeah I believe this coin will exceed all the money in the world so I don't agree. Burden of proof,Ad hominem, etc And Fallacy of compostion- hey etheruem is doing well so all these coins like it will do well.

Any Python program converted to a .exe file with PyInstaller/Py2EXE shows up as a trojan, regardless of if there is actual malicious code in there or not. But if someone is using Github, a place mostly for open source software, and isn't actually showing any source code (notice the top-center of the side only has the file README.md and nothing else), always be suspicious. Hopefully OP can get their money back quickly.

Elon couldn't find MSPAINT.EXE so he used what he could to draw. Classic Elon
