is there a reason why you guys are packing your scripts in .exe format... I find it kind of irritating to have to run an exe to unpack all this stuff that could potentially hide pesky worm's, trojans and viruses...

also is there a reason why "thewatcher" simulate'd the name and spoofd a version # off of "retsek"'s harvest bot instead of creating a side title and giving credit... the people that dont read all the information could be trusting that 2.0+ of "thewatcher's" harvest bot is the actual 2.0+ of retseks... though retsek is only on version 1.51 and it works very very well I might add.

I agree. I'll send a PM to the person that is doing it.

You can install winrar and it will let you right click and then choose extract so it doesnt run the exe.

wyvernx tyvm, also I believe in your upload script you are able to block certain file formats from being uploaded... though I am not sure which one you are using.. I have winrar but didnt know I could unpack the .exe :P

tyvm for taking note of the situation :P
