I didn't know that was a virus or anything, I thought it was just an ad that tries to pops up on every page. I have a popup blocker on and have never had any trouble with it.

I can't do anything about it though; this is free webspace that is ASP compliant and I haven't been able to find any others like it :(

I don't think the popup is an actual virus but if you click the window it will download it.

About.blank is just about the nastiest piece of crap that I have ever come across. It is an insideous little worm that gets so deep into your registry that you just can't seem to get rid of it. Even after you think you have deleted it, the bloody thing just keeps coming back.

The first sign is that your homepage changes and no matter how many time you reset it, it just keeps going back to About.blank. Next you start getting popups telling you that your computer is infected with spyware.
The thing is that this still happens when you unplug the internet connection so the program causing it is local.
You can never find it or delete it though because it has "hidden" attributes and is read only.

I tried dozens of downloadable patches to remove it but they all failed to fix it, even those that claimed to be designed specifically with About.blank in mind.

The only program that got rid of it was StopZilla.
If you are unlucky enough to download the worm then go here to download it.

It is actually a pretty useful bit of software anyway. You get 30 days free trial then you can pay $20 to keep it.

Right OK I have made a start on a program to help new to DB to make a bot. This is what I have so far, I was wondering can someone / some people have a look to find any bugs, problems or missing things it should have please?

The way it works should be easy to work out. Just don't add any conditions before you have any genes lol I'm working on that now.

[PY] if it locks your computer I will never code again. :unsure:

Well , you almost got the intefase right (the frame gets cut off the buttom of the screen) Otherwise your presintation work is sweet  :)

Most of the buttons dont work or cause errors , the only thing I managed to do was bring up the condition making menu.

If you really want to go with this thing , a nice feature will be a search  button next to each combo box. And when you select each type of variable there must be a clear complete deffinition of that variable, then the search button will search each deffinition to find the variables that best fit what you are trying to do. I need this because I for example have trouble writing complex bots because I am to lazy to go through the endless lists of sysvars , then figure out how each sysvar works I.e. what numbers it I.o.s whats the cap on this numbers , etc.

To really see what you were attempting to do , we need to see the source code...


P.S.

For a first time thats pritty good, infact you probebly did a better skin then my first time. All that flash payed off.

What errors do you get!? None of the buttons should cause any problems as far as I know, and I have only done the conditions menu so far. And the frame is alright for me lol. Maybe your resolution is different but that wont do it will it?

I could add the condition, but the "Add action" button does not do anything.
Also it is hard to see the letters (black on brown).  And it would be sweet to have tips as to what the simbols and commands are.  Like I have no idea what !%= or some such thing is.  I can probably figure it out, but it would be sweet to have that right in the program.  Another good addition would be a correct syntax for commands (like mentioning that repro has a meaningful range of 1-99.

Woot at least conditions work! I will do the action entries next.
I am also going to put extra boxes to show syntax and details etc. for each entry like you say [shvarz].

K I will also tweak the colours a bit for clarity.

Thanks!

Wasn't there a DNA writing program someone wrote way before I joined?  I'm not sure how good it was, but it might be worth a look.  It probably is somewhere on the old forum.

Well it doesn't lock up.
Doesn't do anything really. All I get from the attachment is a pile of garbled mess that I can only open from Notepad. It looks like a binary file.
VB won't touch it.

It could be that the giant firewall that I am sitting behind is ripping the guts out of it. I will try from home later.

I have a copy of an early version of DB into which it was shoehorned but I don't have the source code so it could never be added to later releases.
I think it was in 2.2 something.
