Title: Apatch
Post by: AZRedhawk44 on August 11, 2011, 12:44:25 PM

Anyone heard of or using Apatch?

I started getting pop-ups on my new, clean computer... Prompts to save a .SWF file.  After some research, I noticed it only happened with Windows Live Messenger open.  It's ad-spam from WLM/MSN.  And the reason I was getting it, was because I didn't have Flash installed yet.

Well, I didn't trust the URL of the SWF file anyways, so I started looking for a way to block all this stuff in the first place.

Came across Apatch.  www.apatch.org.

And got creeped out by the "praise be to God" and the hidden urls of "aussiemuslims.org" whenever you download apatch from the links on apatch.org server.

Then I started looking for source code.  Which is not available.

Who trusts Apatch, if anyone?
