| Clsid FFDShow modifying Windows Explorer. "You read all this junk about "ffdshow is not a trojan," well it triggers Avast (latest updated version) AND it triggers Windows Data Protection. FFDShow attempted to modify Windows Explorer. I would suggest that if you have a brain in your head stay a thousand miles away from ffdshow from clsid."

I want to know how this fellow found out that ffdshow was attempting to modify Windows Explorer.
Did he use a special software tool?
I would like to test this out, and I'm hoping for a simple answer.
No winking or hammer on head smilies please.
This is very serious to me. | |

@telus.net | Cudni, I want to know how I can test if when I install ffdshow is it or is it not modifying Windows Explorer.
Drop dead easy question.
But I will try your test engine too. | |

take md5 hash of explore.exe before install and after install and compare the 2

| I just downloaded the most recent 'ffdshow sse' version a little while ago. I'm looking forward to installing it.
I have zero concerns about it doing anything in the least malicious to my machine.
These codecs do good things!  | |

| I tested FFDshow 1805 from the afterdawn site, the latest 1817 from ffdshow.info, and version 1771.
I had the hash from before I installed ffdshow and after.
The hash for explorer.exe in c:\windows in vista 32 bit stayed the same after trying each version out.
I hope I tested the right explorer.exe. I searched and found a few.
This was using the hash software Cudni linked too.
Thanks Cudni. | |

ffdshow is installed on my computers without any problems...in fact, I would not be found without ffdshow....its a very good codec. But where a person obtains the codec from.....any codec or any program...means a major thing....there are lots of bad download websites out there.
Blue Turtle all security issues are taken very seriously by the Members of this Forum.......and without a little humor now and then most of us would just plain not help other people....this can be very stressful business.
Of course you always have the option of paying someone for security advice.....it the end most likely their advice wont be as good as the advise found here.....but please try it if you find our humor is offensive. | |
