Why is GFL SDK contacting mail.boxtorrents.com?

Post by brotondi »

Why is GFL SDK contacting mail.boxtorrents.com (81.52.143.6)?

This was not with SDK 1.9... and I found no documentation about this...

GFL SDK does not establish any internet connections. Perhaps your package or application is corrupted. Where did you get your GFL SDK from?

Sorry for not responding, I got no Reply-Notification - and was very busy after a HD-Crash...

I downloaded the Package from http://perso.orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/ ... adgfl.html (V2.54)
... now let's give v2.67 a try :)

... be back after some tests...

hmmm really strange: I set back my system to a point where 1.90 was installed and compiled my project: Everything o.k.

now I really only changed gflib.bas to V2.67 and compiled -> exe connects to status-d.icq.com:DNS...

turned gflib.bas back to V1.90, compiled, but still contacting...

excluded gflib.bas from the project (because not needed) and now no connecting...

???

(ZoneAlarm is showing me this information instantly after executing the exe)

... still working on it, but it seems to be a side-effect from something else, has nothing to do with your SDK...

Might be some DLL that is "injected" into your project from the outside.
(Either something valid or some kind of malware).

SysInternals ProcessExplorer is a great tool to see all loaded modules (and even some minor debugging information).

I'm pretty sure: not the fault of libgfl.dll

o.k. 95% clear: My fault: When Installing 2.54 I changed some Internet-Setting in the project which also resettet when turning back to 1.90 (so the bug apeared only with 2.54 but not with 1.90) ... but really had nothing to do with your SDK. Sorry!

... and now going to bed :)
