Hi everyone,
This is a bit of a public service announcement. I tried to look at this
bug:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=38451
The poster offered a ZIP download of their project, but it's hosted by a
questionable site, since it requires browser add-ons (including Adobe
Flash) and a client program (which apparently was digitally signed and
recognised by Windows). It installed Opera and a number of 3rd Party
Windows Services without permission. I've managed to uninstall said
programs, and now I'm running a full virus scan because, frankly, I
don't trust everything to be gone.
I made a post on the bug report suggesting the author use a different
download provider. But long story short, DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM THE LINK
PROVIDED.
Gareth aka. Kit
