Titanium skin
watch out
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 by cocteau48 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I downloaded the WB "Titanium" skin today and my security suite immediately informed me that I had installed a PUP onto the system. Running a complete security scan I discovered that the PUP was "Reboot-E" and that it was indeed contained within the WB Titanium folder. Secure deletion and a rescan appear to have removed all evidence.
Has anyone else come across this?
If not then beware!!!

Ok,firstI must appologise for not being specific as to which titanium skin I had downloaded (I did not realise that there were four available)
The one in question is titanium (author arnold)370KB
Yes I did download it from Wincustomize although not through the SD Central browser.
I have tried re-downloading it again and it is still including the same PUP which I have,of course safely deleted.
I have not checked the other "titanium4" skin by arnold to see if that is the same.
Comments would be most welcome.

The skin is safe. There's a setup program in there to alter various aspects of the look of Windows98. That may trigger your AV proggie (McAfee?).
Teh skin is 7 years old... try something newer
