Hello, a french caracter wants to be "Le Soldat Inconnu". See here : http://purebasic.hmt-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=208. He is very dangerous and has programmed a virus. For more informations about this code contact Denis, his somputer is damaged by this virus.
So if you see a Le Soldat Inconnu, look the number of message and the date of inscription...
Sorry :roll:
PS : My English is not good because I'm hurry...

Not nice...

My programms are only on
htttp:\\caosandkin.bei.t-online.de\
And not on any other servers.

And maybe it is a good idea to post the sourcecode and not only a exe...

I don't know a lot of things about this sourcecode and exe. But I think he has posted the codesource and not the exe. It's not sure...

Heis,

he just send a little piece of code using the Soldat Inconnu login and that's why i ran the code without taking a look at it before and the folder PureBasic was deleted, then it has deleted C:\ but i stopped it quickly but not enough.

Now its Ok.

Bad, this forum has the bug too...

It is really simple to create a fake account...

Here is GPI writing, NOT Heis Spiter...

lol, GPI.

Spot the Space competition has started.

The admin of these boards can probably help with tightening up on security, and on setting up blacklists.

And I believe there are ways that a criminal (malicious code is criminal) can be tracked and apprehended, especially one this naive and clumsy. Depends on whether you consider it worth the effort.

I've changed the registration mode, now it should be approved by the board admin, so it will take a longer time to get registered but will workaround this bug, until it gets fixed.

@ Fred

Maybe you could ask for a valid email, and send a registration number that has to use the first time you log in...

This would allow you to have in the Forum database a list of emails.

Yes, that's a better solution, and a workaround is possible for the login problems. So I will change it to that.
