www.effectmatrix.com videorecorder MALWARE SW!!!

[shadow687]

Hi everyone! i'm new here just to give you the advise TO NOT download www(.)effectmatrix(.)com softwares.

i was looking for a good freeware videorecording sw and after trying some i got this one..

then i got black screen and after some forced restart and task manager interruption i got back my pc control... (i had to terminate explorer.exe and restart it some times to make it work)

avast was ko (disabled for some dll missing), no restore point working and something other...
now i've disinstalled and reinstalled avast and seems working.

damned f ing virus!

i hope this could be useful
after this... i'm using avast since 6 years and i will go in this way

From my experience, these are some good videorecorders that you can use:
Camtasia - Cost money, but good for professional videoing
Hypercam 2/3 - 2 is free; 3 has more features
Camstudio 2.0 - Although old, it still generates good videos

----------------------

Will investigate EffectMatrix.

The only report I get for that site is this one, and I do not know that to be actual or daily dirt
or a FP even:

Can you list the problems you encountered?

Did you read their terms, if they have any? If so, did you agree to something like, 'we reserve the right to change blah
blah blah from blah blah blah', etc...?

upload suspicious file(s) to www.virustotal.com and test with 40+ malware scanners
when you have the result, copy the url in the address bar and post it here for us to see

1) i got (in order)
- click disabled
- system slow down
- no reason black screen (only task manager was working but not properly)
- restart
- same black screen after windows loading and few of all process started (about 4-5... normally i have 40 apx active process at start)
- explorer.exe terminated (task man.)
- new operation explorer.exe (task man.)
- same problem from first of this list after some seconds, and after some explorer restart i tryed a system restore.

i got something like "restore failed, there's nothing to restore"

i've disinstalled the program and now seems all working properly..
then i run a system complete scan with avast highest severity option and an other one with malware bytes with no detection.

2) yes they have... http://www.effectmatrix.com/terms-conditions.htm
"[...] INDEMNITY: You agree to defend, indemnify and hold EffectMatrix , its affiliates and their officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your user content, use of the Site, or violation of any of these Terms.[...]"

i think they are able to write that if they send explosive and u die they have no fault...
"you have accepted it!"

@Pondus i tryed but it says that is clear...

i really think that could be a system incopatibility... i have win 7 64

i'm enough happy that i've not lost evething

thanks however
