Rainmeter Users Beware - Edited
Just FYI
Saturday, June 18, 2011 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Community
Just a heads up guys. I just decided to try out Rainmeter again, see if I can understand it better, and I see this on their site. I really shouldn't be suprised that DeviantArt has viruses. I thoroughly intend to learn RM, just not get skins at DA, at least until it is cleared up.
This is just meant to warn people of a problem at DevArt.
So, if you're at DA looking for rainmeter skins....beware!

I use Rainmeter (Thanks to the husband) and have been very careful about what I download. I've kept an eye on the warnings and wish you guys could catch whoever is uploading the skins with malware and/or viruses, yet I've seen where others have downloaded the suspect skins and can only shake my head despite all the warnings from the Rainmeter Group telling them to check the comments on each page. I wouldn't have the patience to learn Rainmeter, I'm more hardware, but my husband has lots of time on his hands so of course he's trying when not writing. I appreciate the RM group for being so vigilant and give my thanks.

Holy crap, I didn't realize what kind of colossal mess dA was, since the only thing I submit there are Windowblinds for 7 (we pretty much have THAT section in order). The rest of the site? Geez-Louise! I remember my grandmother telling me what a madhouse Ellis Island was when she immigrated here in the 20s, but that pales in comparison to sorry state of affairs at DevArt these days. Categories are completely useless; anybody from anywhere can upload whatever they want anywhere they want with impunity, and what a JOKE is their little warning when you follow a link outside "You are now leaving deviantART.com. Be warned! Out there be monsters. If this is what you intended, then follow the link below." REALLY DevArt? OUT THERE be monsters? REALLY?
I guess I'm done over there. I don't want my name associated with that schizophrenic of a site. (A tiny bit crazy and disorganized, no problem...that's me, but total chaos? I don't think so.)

Agreed, it is a mess over there! I go there for rainmeter and wallpapers. I get all my other skins here, unless it's a blind that hasn't gotten through moderation over here yet, but only if it's a skin from one of you guys.

The malware has definitely started up again.
There is currently 7 infected rainmeter skins there, but they are not in our groups gallery.
If you go looking for rm skins, check my post first http://rainmeter.deviantart.com/blog/40705562/ I just finished updating it.
