    it would be very sad to see your contributions to the community disappear.
    I for one can say THANK YOU for letting me take part and even benefit in some of your contests.
    truly in my eyes a great contribution here at MDL.
    your decision is yours and yours alone, but there are some that do care ....

    Thank you for showing your concern and compliments but if you try to think in my place you'll realize how sad you'll feel when people start accusing you for something you never even dreamed of doing in reality.

    I just tried to help members getting a free license of few software by introducing contest at this forums but never knew how people will react if they don't get what they want.

    Secondly I don't have time to dedicate here. I've some personal requirements to look after..thats all.

    HitmanPro.Alert 3

    Protect your PC, data, identity and money

    The unique technologies in HitmanPro.Alert 3 are designed to stop threats before they emerge and aims to protect your vulnerable software, data and identity against current and future attacks, without requiring prior knowledge of the attack or malicious program. Download now 4 MB, version 3 build 181. Supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP (SP3) [​IMG]
    Seals the gaps Antivirus programs are all designed to help catch the daily hundreds of thousands new malicious programs, the payload. Unlike this, HitmanPro.Alert can actually block the exploit (thus blocking its payload), without requiring prior knowledge of the abused weakness or the malicious program. It also makes malware belief it is running in an unwanted research environment, causing most sandbox-aware malware to terminate itself. Reveals the spies HitmanPro.Alert instantly detects over 99% of all known and new banking trojans and other spies. It automatically informs users when critical system functions are diverted to untrusted programs and effectively reveals the presence of any so-called Man-in-the-Browser malware. It also prevents attackers from abusing you own webcam. And by encrypting your keystrokes, HitmanPro.Alert protects your credentials while you work, play or shop online.
    [​IMG] Protects your data Since it is much harder for a malware-author to change the behavior of his malware (e.g. take files hostage), HitmanPro.Alert looks out for suspicious activity instead of working with virus signatures. If e.g. mass encryption is detected, HitmanPro.Alert's CryptoGuard technology will automatically neutralize the perpetrating program and restore the encrypted documents, without the need for any user intervention. Learn more about CryptoGuard [​IMG] Hardware-assisted Control-Flow Integrity HitmanPro.Alert 3 is the first and only commercially available exploit mitigation software capable of leveraging MSR hardware registers in your existing Intel® microprocessor to assist Alert's Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) analysis. And where other security software struggle with application compatibility, HitmanPro.Alert is compatible with other security solutions, including exploit mitigation software.
    [​IMG] Code mitigations HitmanPro.Alert 3 keeps an eye on program execution flow, prevents heap sprays and stops attacks that e.g. redirect exception handling to run unwanted malicious code. Without affecting regular program use, it also blocks sophisticated Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) attacks and exploits that abuse logic-flaws in widely-used or company specific software. [​IMG] Memory mitigations HitmanPro.Alert 3 is capable of per-application enforcement of Data Execution Prevention (DEP), Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Bottom-up ASLR memory protections; on current and legacy software without requiring the source code of the protected application, even on outdated Windows XP that no longer receives security updates from Microsoft.

    JRiver Media Center

    Hey Sid, How about organising a GA for JRiver Media Center v20 :g:
    ATM, I am using a cured version which somehow crashes every now & then (while playing media directly from explorer). So, if you can arrange a GA for this particular software then it'll be awesome. :D

    (OP)
    Hello all,
    I reopened this thread to know the opinion of other members about the rule for the giveaway/contest threads.

    The problem I'm facing is, nobody bothers to read at least a line of the rule but starts posting 'count me in' thanks etc. whether s/he is a newbie or an older member.

    I've clearly mentioned that if somebody is using a proxy/vpn service, s/he should disable it before posting in a giveaway/contest thread/s but who cares about it.

    I've checked some post/s and caught few members using proxy service to enter in to a giveaway thread and I warned them thru PM and edited their posts. Furthermore, I don't have time to check each and every post for proxy/vpn, its members responsibility to maintain decency and decorum.

    In the winrar thread the rule is a member with 30 posts count and a 3 months stay at MDL is mandatory but members with 1 to 10 posts are entered in the contest.

    P.S Why did I made that rule? Its because the RAR lab people will be going on vacation from 23rd. Dec. and the license preparation will take them at least 2/3 working days.

    The newbies or older and inactive member/s will not provide their info. required for RAR lab in 4 days time but only the active members can therefore I made that rule to receive the license in time before vacation.

    What should be done for proxy users and lazy/inactive/newbie members? Your opinion is most welcome.:)

    I can understand your situation, It is hard to convey the rules to all members, Try to lock the users posts / replies based on their Joined Date, No. of Posts and Activity (only in your thread) If this script is implemented you are all set. I hope you can understand what I mean.

    Thanks

    Well, given the fact this thread is closed, I dare to post here. Hope you don't mind sid or if you like you can remove it no problem.

    I suggest a giveaway for Terabyte Unlimited, especially for BootIt Bare Metal and other great products from their creation.

    Okay! I reopened this thread.

    I've sent request to many of the above mentioned software companies and waiting for their replies.

    What will happen if they would agree to sponsor few licenses of the desired software? Would you all here at MDL agree to participate in the contest sharing this giveaway/contest in your FB/Twitter/G+ social media according to the software company rule? NO!!
    Live example of the just finished thread Roll Back Rx! Which company would sponsor licenses costing around 60$ each to a deserted thread?
    Nobody is backing me up in terms of participation or arrangements and writing reviews for the desired software and btw, I don't have enormous time to spend here checking each and every posts, wait for the winners, request to software vendors etc..
