Perhaps you are not a security expert. The blog article posted here is entirely consistent with those observed by me, so I posted the aticle here too for I am sure I am not the only one who noticed this stuff in the browser filters and in the AV world. I'm sure you asked, and I gave you an answer that I know. The Scut AV could not begin sales in 2009 thanks to the Google Chrome filter. Users were scared to download the antivirus because Google Chrome said that "This file can harm your computer" and that was/is not the case. Thus, how can the user trust the antivirus ?! The antivirus is made by a friend of mine. I tested the product and it is really good on heuristics and in any case the Scut AV is no way a malware as Google says.

yes, this is one: http://www.scutav.ro/[^] Scut AntiVirus is a legit antivirus made in 2008.

Often, when an antivirus company says about an executable that is malicious, then they can destroy that legit company (they do this often with many small companies). The question is where is the justice in that ?! This is called unfair competition. I wonder when this situation will be resolved ... I am surprised that many antivirus companies are not sued.

Do you know when your browser filter or your antivirus says: this file can harm your computer ? Well, people began to understand that these are false alarm signals. Because of this problem, no one trusts the browser filter and the antivirus (for a good reason). The problem arose from the moment VirusTotal appeared. All security companies take their files from there, and this is something totally wrong, because the files are uploaded by users like you and me ! Antivirus teams are like sheep, if one says that a file is suspect, then everyone says that the file is a virus or suspect. They do this so they don't lose the so-called "detection rate". That is why over ~90% of the files they detect as malware, they are in fact clean files, belonging to different legit software companies or belonging to you or me. So when your browser or antivirus tells you that the file "x" is infected, you should not listen to it. I've given up Google Chrome (mainly due to so called "malware" filters) and all antivirus software because these have told me that my programs (just compiled) were a threat to my computer. That is stupid, how can you interdict me to download my own statistical software because it might harm my computer ?! Source: http://vb6awards.blogspot.com[^]

You're welcome :) Microsoft says that Visual Basic 6.0 is supported until 2024. This is cool to: http://vb6awards.blogspot.com

Visual Basic 6.0 can be installed on any Windows: http://nuke.vbcorner.net/Home/tabid/36/language/en-US/Default.aspx[^] See more here: https://www.facebook.com/MicrosoftVB[^]

That is why I and many more like me use Visual Basic 6.0. It is small (portable version ~6M) and very fast. :-D

Mark, VB6 is not outdated at all, it is supported by Microsoft until 2020 - 2023. On Wikypedia the information about some programming languages are false, no wonder that the world begins to have no confidence in the information written there (except for the scientific information which is well filtered). Thank you for the clarification :)

:)

Nothing is foreign to VB6. VB6 already has many of the concepts you're talking about. How is this possible since is has not been updated for 15 years ?! Well, many of these concepts are made in VB6 and are stored inside classes designed by different VB6 programmers (these are open source and anyone can use them). If you are more specific I can give you some examples. PS: Ask yourself how often do you use these "great", "complex" and "modern" VB.NET concepts (which are implemented in VB6 too, by us, the VB6 programmers). Thanks for the reply, Best regards, ISpliter

I am a VB6 programmer and I hate when people do not make the difference between VB6 programmers and other VB programmers. What it is so funny regarding this post ?! care to explain ?!

You are a joker, I like you. However, this time you did not make a good joke since Visual Basic 6.0 is the first in the polls :)

In fact, it may be the best. If you are interested in cryptography applications here are some app's in VB6 wich are very, very, very, fast! (this app's are VB6 only, no assembly line is used, just pure VB6 code): http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73477&lngWId=1[^] http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73481&lngWId=1[^] http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73513&lngWId=1[^] http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73500&lngWId=1[^] http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73499&lngWId=1[^] :)

When C# happened to me, I still preferred VB6. :)

Considering the polls, VB6 is still the best programming language in the world: http://www.theranking.com/what-is-the-best-programming-language-in-the-world_r55229[^] http://www.theranking.com/what-is-the-best-programming-language-ever_r43672[^] http://www.theranking.com/best-programing-language-in-the-world_r36102[^]

@dd@nish Any intermediate VB6 programmer can put you in the corner of shame (hell, even I can do that). Do not believe me?! read this: Compilers Demystified: Function Pointers in Visual Basic 6.0[^] I am very proud to be a part of the great VB6 community, where many intelligent programmers reside! Best regards, ISpliter :)

VB6 best programming language ever: Yes, but PHP is too :), true (however, PHP is a scripting language) , but I agree :)

Really ?! VB6 might be the best language in the world (for obvious reasons). I am a VB6 programmer, what are the weaknesses that you talk about, I do not know for VB6 to have any weaknesses ! Delphi better than VB6 ?! NO, in any event... be realistic! VB6 is in many cases faster than C++, and you talk about Delphi ?! again, be realistic!

Well, it is the best language (if you know VB6 well enough), depends on what you use it. It has a very wide margin of types of applications. It is a very cool language and fast as hell.

DNALab ?! Any connection with the research in genetics ?!
