Default Re: Willem Programmer

A warning for those of you using Windows and Willem software!

You should be very very wary when using the software that is delivered on CD with these Willem programmers, myself and atleast two other people have found viruses and trojans on those CDs.

ebay had a real problem with people selling these programmers and I was contacted by them to confirm my negative feedback of one seller who shipped infected CDs as other buyers had contacted eBay about this.

Also several places on the internet had the same infected software for download at the same time, so it was not just the eBay sellers who tried to spread these viruses and trojans.

The infections were all targeting bank information, according to Symantec which I use.

Be sure to update your virus protection software before you install any Willem software.

I hope this piece of OT information will help someone to not get infected.

otherwise I am very happy with the Willem programmer as it did just what i wanted it to do in a perfect way, program new eproms for my LeCroy digital oscilloscope.
