UPDATE: There's a slew of new malware skins uploaded to the main Rainmeter Gallery in the last couple of days.
We are now just going to post the names of the losers who are uploading Rainmeter skins with malware instead of each infected skin. Also included is a link to their gallery so that you can see the infected skins - see below.
DeviantART staff continue to take a back seat on helping with this issue, so don't count on them to get rid of the bad guys. These guys usually end up taking down the skin or deactivating their account and putting it up again way before dA gets around to looking into the reports they get sent.
We try and check all the skins uploaded to our gallery for malware before accepting them and we try to keep this list up-to-date, but real-time interferes, so please practice safe downloading!
-----
Some things to watch for:- comments are usually disabled or hidden
- they are fairly new to dA, just a couple of new skins
- their profile page only has a few items on it
- they rip a skin/preview/description then upload it with malware or keyloggers
- downloads are zipped and have an .exe file which is the virus
- don't download files like Build.exe, Run.exe, FullInstall.exe, *.rmskin.exe, Full_Set_Up.pif - basically anything that ends in .exe or .pif.
How to test each download for a virus:- Right-click 'Download File' link, choose 'Copy Link Location'
- Go to VirusTotal at
[link] and choose the Submit a Url tab
- Click on 'Submit Url' and then paste the link location in the Search Bar
If you come across malware, report it as malware. If it's your skin that's been ripped, report it and file a DMCA takedown notice.
