newer hurts to be careful though i havent noticed any misbehaviour from this filehoster , if there are then it is blocked by my router cause every online scanner i could throw at it says it is clean.  still allways a good thing to be vigilant.

one small hint for those that want to try and build the source, msvc 2003 .NET does work on win10 but it has a rather odd bug where the search function does not work. this is caused by win10's high dpi scaling so disable that in compatibility settings and also disable fullscreen optimizations and set it to run as admin, this will take care of the problems this old compiler has. the source uses the older dx9 sdk dxsdk_feb2006 which does not use source annotation but if you make a small hack using a dummy sal.h like in mingw-w64 you can actually build it using the latest dx9 sdk from june2010 instead, the binaries in the source are built using the latest sdk btw :).

with some more work it could be ported to built with even the latest compilers but it would probably be easiest to do that using cmake scripts to recreate the build solutions for the compiler you wish to use.

might even be possible to port it to use clang or gcc but i suspect that might take a good deal of work.

on the other hand it could possibly help with a few of the problems like replacing the old dsound interface with openal and other stuff that win10 does not support fully anymore.

Agree, also the MS Defender don't let execute any contamined sources, but it's better to know, before the download. Anyway, it's not in any case clear if a malware has sneaked in. In last years there are several pages who use cryptomining pop-unders which use the CPU for mining. This you note only by a high CPU usage, even with no apps or browser active.

To avoid this, you can use an extension, f. Exmpl. Miner Block, which works with a list and also heuristic.
