#239 Never download ansani version of Shareaza on github, it is a trojan
don't download the version of shareaza on ansani github repo, it is a trojan, see virustotal scan result here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/951ac11610d7360255bfb8f9ba58cba090f70e58730a1e924aff2435c9fd7b9c/detection
Never trust Salvatore Ansani, he is a cracker, he was arrested, he spies and he uses trojans and other malware: https://www-corrieredellacalabria-it.translate.goog/2019/05/22/hacker-di-stato-arrestato-il-calabrese-amministratore-di-e-surv/
so, you are not a technician, a coder or someone with a good knowledge.
but you can report and point your finger...
can I call you troll?

you make a version of shareaza and you don't publish where it's published since ages, but you publish on your personal github, then I question that the file is infected, also another user did, and the only thing that you can say is that 6/71 on virustotal is a false positive?
this confirms, once again, that you don’t know what are you are talking about.
I cannot publish my exe in the original shareaza repo as that one is gone...
About the false positive, I opened an issue on my github repos to check and fix.
if yiu dont trust me, simply don’t download the build.

I built it and my built exe has no trojan hit on virus total. Hmmm
Great!
Feel free to use your one then!
If you want to see how mine is built, just check the corrispondent GitHub action!
Honestly I'm a bit bored about all these claims!
Feel free to maintain your own Shareaza fork!
Ciao ciao,
Salvatore
I'm one of the original Shareaza developers btw. There is no encryption on the connection, everything is in plain text, the G2 network is basically dead and everyone has moved on to torrents 2 decades ago. Just let it die.

RIP Shareaza, then!
