Nullsoft Scriptable Install System - Unrelated NSIS Media Malware

Unrelated NSIS Media Malware

A widespread malware company named itself NSIS Media. NSIS Media and NSIS are not related by anything but name. As with everything downloaded from the Internet, a reliable download source should be chosen to avoid this malware.

Several antivirus companies have labeled plugins such as NSISdl, which provides HTTP downloading functionality, as trojans. This is also incorrect. While NSIS is a scriptable system and thus could be used to create malware, that is not its primary purpose and this condition in fact applies to all programming languages.

Famous quotes containing the words unrelated and/or media:

    Art and ideology often interact on each other; but the plain fact is that both spring from a common source. Both draw on human experience to explain mankind to itself; both attempt, in very different ways, to assemble coherence from seemingly unrelated phenomena; both stand guard for us against chaos.
    Kenneth Tynan (1927–1980)

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
