Is it a Virus

June 17, 2008 3:27:25 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Hi, I just uninstalled WindowBlinds from my Vista computer. Something that was a WB4 file that left 4 files starting with Personality invade all the directories on my computer. Is it a virus or is this normal Windowblind behaviour aas I never noticed it before and I have been running WB for a while now and yes it was paid for but the last time I installed it I used the trial version plus my serial to activate it. love Malcolm

The trial version cannot be activated with a serial number.

It is not normal for .WB4 files to be put in all your directories.

I think this has to be the only support post I've seen anywhere that ended with the closing "love"

Hi, It's been up for a few hours now. It was not the trial version that I used but the download url that "support" gave me.

Now the Personality files only appear in the WindowBlinds directory. Why they appeared all over the place I don't know. AVG says I have no virus on my computer.

I have a chronic illness and used to go to support forums whose posters were mainly women and started signing off with love then.

I am nearly 78 and figured that I don't have much time to spread love around anymore, hence my sign off.

Love Malcolm
