[SOFT] Universal XML Scraper V2 - Easy Scrape with High Quality picture

I updated to the last version and Indeed I got a warning from Windows Defender but I just ignored. Anyway if your computer is up to date it shouldn't affect you. The problem is it could also affect your pie if it has shared files across samba

@kbronctjr I'm a professional hit-man and sometimes I don't get a chance to check my phone.

@AlexMurphy Who knows, but this trojan has been one of the worse world wide malware in a long time. It encrypts your disk and asks you to pay to "unlock" your files. I just ran it through wine (I'm on a mac) and nothing happened. So i booted windows, which is where i got the warning. It could possible to have it run a mac as wine does not hide the Mac file system, but mounts it as the Z:drive. But i shut wine down and deleted that bottle.

kbronctjr

@lostless It could be a false positive.

I don't have any of the registry keys mentioned there

AlexMurphy

@lostless just delete it. That's my advice. It sounds bad.

I use eset and anti-malware and they both scanned clean. Microsoft at one point was recommending to NOT use defender but it was their "better than nothing" solution for years. It might be better now but I still don't trust it.

AlexMurphy

@Darksavior Try fail2ban for the Pi. I don't use it personally but I hear good things,

@AlexMurphy

Thanks but I don't believe I've ever been infected by this. I always keep my av and windows upto date.

AlexMurphy

@Darksavior Always wear protection on your fingers! Good man!

*and never trust a woman with an agenda. Believe me.

Coming back to my problem, in the list of missing games that is generated some games appear with strange name like this:

B8LWE9~2.PBP

But the file names are shown correct in ftp and at the console

AlexMurphy

@kbronctjr It's just ALL about you, isn't it??? Have you tried rubbing a potato on it at midnight and burying it under a mulberry bush?

kbronctjr

@AlexMurphy I tried burying it under a RASPBERRY bush but no luck

AlexMurphy

@kbronctjr You still have the warts? See a qualified physician or a TV doctor... whichever your healthcare plan allows for.

As I says, it's a false positiv... and no trace of wannacry... (I'm an IT in a compagny and pass my last week preventing he don't come to my compagny ^^)

By security, I make some test :
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/9a15495065c2b979b04fc92d5a2051c8cbc13e942dc1e1a8b25f2004b0452183/analysis/1495453332/
The 4 first result are "generic" Malware code... (something like : "the file want to execute an other exe, or the file acces internet, or the file open XML".... And it's true ;) but it's not a malware ^^ it's the main function of UXS :p

https://virusscan.jotti.org/fr-FR/filescanjob/g4czisptuw
ClamAV detect one, but it's a well known false positive...

Tested on Kapersky too :

And on Metadefender :

No threat found...

I send about 30 mails to majors AV antivirus to put UXS in their trusted list... I already have some response, but not all of them.
Windows Defender is "the worst" one... It's the "better than nothing" solution from microsoft but it put lot's of false positiv.

For the other problem :
PBP file aren't all referenced. The best way to scrape them : rename your file with a referenced FILEname. Just search on www.screenscraper.fr your game. look at the end of the web page. You will found all the referenced file. Just take one matching (country/language).
The matching is done on the Filename without extension. So it will work ;)

Creating Mix Outside UXS : I'm working on a solution with Imagemagick (UXS convert Mix profil to Imagemagick command line). But it's not done yet... sorry... I'll keep you up to date ;)

@screech Thorough as always @screech . Yeah, "Windows Defender" is pure merde. Why do people tolerate it on their systems?

Darksavior

Anyone having issues using this? It runs the first time, finds my files, doesn't find any roms (0/0), takes a few minutes to check the hashes, but scrapes nothing. Restarting it gives me the error popup that it failed to connect to the database. The screenscraper site seems to be up and working from what I can see. It was down all weekend.

AlexMurphy

@Darksavior It may well be working. Did you specify the path / file to save the images to?

I never had to. It just asks for the rom folder and that's it. It generates the saved images folder by itself. They're just empty. I've used this months ago but I wanted to scrape some other roms I had. It still doesn't explain why it won't connect to the database again if I restart it. I'm just going back to sselph's scraper for now.

@Darksavior Update it from github and tell it where to save stuff. Don't just click on the default settings.

It was already the latest version. I changed the defaults, no change. I'm not wasting my time any further. I'll try it again in a future version.
