FAQ : Suspected Virus/Malware Detection. Some facts and what to do.
#FAQ
#Reminder
Since JTAlert was released in 2011, there have NEVER been any documented virus/malware/trojan infections caused by JTAlert. Prior to making a new JTAlert release publicly available, the JTAlert Instal
Since JTAlert was released in 2011, there have NEVER been any documented virus/malware/trojan infections caused by JTAlert. Prior to making a new JTAlert release publicly available, the JTAlert Installer is submitted to the VirusTotal Online Scanner where scans from over 70 commercial scanners are performed. Detection's that don't identify a specific named threat, but contain words like "Gen", "Generic", "Malicious", "Confidence", "Malware", "Riskware", "Reputation", "Score", "Heuristic", "Autoit", "Script", are typically false-positives. They don't identify a genuine threat. These sort of threat identifications are typically due to the compiler used to generate the JTAlert code or due to a lack of use among the user base of this Virus protection software (typically for niche-market Amateur Radio software) If your concerned about unsafe JTAlert files reported by your Virus/Malware software please do the following... Don't install the software. Send a false-positive submission to your Protection software company. Wait for them to confirm that the file is safe and they update their definitions files before installing/upgrading JTAlert. Reputable Protection software companies offer a false-positive reporting/testing service. If your software doesn't provide this fundamental service, you should seriously consider changing to a company that does. Users are ultimately responsible for their PC/Windows infrastructure, as such they should take the initiative and report suspicious files to their Protection software provider, rather than simply accepting third party advice to apply file/directory exemptions. If you believe there is a genuine threat contained within the JTAlert files, stop using/installing the program and immediately submit the file to your Protection software vendor for analysis. If your vendor reports a threat (not a possible threat or potential risk) submit a message to this group. de Laurie, VK3AMA

#Announcement BandActivty & TextMessage services for pre 2.15.0 versions of JTAlert turned off 2 messages

The services running on the HamSpots Server that manage Band Activity data and Text Messaging for old (pre 2.15.0) versions of JTAlert have been disabled. Spots upload to HamSpots is not affected by this change. Server load has seen a significant increase in recent weeks. This change is part of the current Server load reduction activity. It is very unlikely they will be re-enabled in the future. If either of these two disabled services is important to you, a JTAlert upgrade to a more recent version will be needed. Sorry for the inconvenience. de Laurie VK3AMA
