Idea: Virus Scanner!

Hello dear MTA Players. I have an idea, Its about placing Virusses in Zip/Rar archieves.

I think there are resources which have virusses inside them. and lots of player doesn't play MTA because of this.

Why MTA Doesn't have an own Virus Scanner for Resources?

I'm not sure what you're on about - there's no way you can get a virus from MTA (unless there's a bug in our code of course). MTA never executes anything from a server except Lua scripts, which are unable to do anything to your computer.

At most a server could put a virus executable on your computer (as CrystalMV says) but this wouldn't actually be able to be run, unless you go searching for it in your resource directories and run it.

Can you give an example of a resource that has a virus in it?

i dont think is there any, but in a GTA forum i asked "sampers" why they aren't playing MTA, and their answer was :because of virusses in resource rars.

Well, we've never heard of any viruses, and we would if there were any. Resources don't even come in rar files, they come in zip files.

This sounds like someone is spreading false information for some reason.

Well yeah, true, but my PC never get any viruses from MTA SA. I agree to eAi, that someone spread false information, and it's bad.

I already guaranteed, that MTA SA is "clean", no virus. It's been proven, but not many know. It's hard for the SA-MP players to believe any info about MTA SA either! But still, why many SA-MP players used MTA SA map editor to make maps, but not trying to look at the servers just once? At least they wanted to try looking at the race servers. They opened MTA SA, so that means they believe MTA SA is virus-free!

Anyway turret001, according to the info I found in the past, some say they can't leave their clans and friends who play SA-MP, but they already thought that MTA SA is better.

(At first, I don't believe MTA SA since I was a SA-MP player too, but since I visited MTA SA by the editor and looked at servers, I believe MTA SA, till now, and I've chosen the right path.)
