When I first downloaded Slash on Windows XP I saw suspicious behaviour from it it looked like it was taking info from my disk. Anybody else had it?

Scratch wouldn't do that - unless I am misreadinh you. The only way it would 'take' info from your disk is when you download it, the hard drive needs to hold the memory of the Slash program etc.

What do you mean by that? What did the suspicious activity look like?

Scratch Mods or Scratch should be ok to run. It does have to load some information from the disk, but that info is only related to Slash.

What makes you so suspicious of this? Please clarify.

His antivirus probably detected it as spyware.

Did'nt but it was very suspicous:Maybe it's clever enough to make the antivirus software not detect it.

If you're suspicious of it, run it in a sandbox.

What do you mean by suspicious. What is it doing that makes you think this?

At one of my startups it was taking/looking at data but I uninstalled it but I think it was

I am confused.

How do you know that it is taking/looking at data?

If you're not sure if it is safe to run, your antivirus software may have a built-in sandbox. If it doesn't, a good sandbox program is Sandboxie.

Slash fiction often contains suspicious content, but the Scrach modification Slash is perfectly fine.

arinerron · 2013-01-23 21:55:41

Slash is fine you just have it opening something with internet connections and it said do you allow permission? Just click yes that's probably mesh you tried to open or something this has happened to me.
