Well if marketed correctly I think it would be quite the revolution and yes jules it would take a lot of expensive computers to run but as in many cases of online websites that seem simple enough the reality is they're usualy multi million dollar enterprises. This woudln't be an exeption, I think there's a market for it though.

right - and you think companies are just gonna let you test your exe's for viruses on their precious and expensive machines...

But then again, you don't know a thing about what you're talking about.

As in most things yes I admit I don't know everything there is to know it's just an idea you know a thought, something to talk about, but unlike you at least I'm not stupid enough to think I do know everything because it says so on a piece of paper. :olo:

There's a difference between thinking you know everything and knowing when someone is an idiot.

anyways his point isnt that you can "test" virusses or scan for them. his idea is that you can install apps on a mirror of your own computer and test it out, see how it works with other apps and services and maybe even trial it before buying it

nothing of this idea is feasable though but its a better brainbiproduct than the usual "the universe is made out of cookiedough"-theories he posts

like for example, the ultra-leet-super-expensive 3d graphics programs and hardware.

yeah they are but that's just one aspect of things, plus not all virus checkers are up to date, this way you wouldn't need a virus checker since it wouldn't be your system that's affected, on top of that the idea would be to be able to virtualy run it on the website app whatever that would be...

kracus - when you run something virtually on a website, it's actually being run on a computer. It's not as if the website exists in some mysterious nether region of net space.

The idea of running an exe on someone else's box to test for viruses doesn't seem to be a useful one. Why not just update your virus definitions with a free antivirus proggy, and scan the files your interested in yourself?

I still don't get your idea. Maybe i'm missing something, but it seems to make no sense.

Admitedly the program needed to run such an interface would be a challenge but it's an interesting idea I think. You?
you mean like a VMWARE type of product that's web based?
lol you don't even know what it is

Cause not all prgrams that aren't viruses are programs you would want on your computer. Take Gain for intsance, it's technicly not really a virus (or maybe it is) but it's annoying as hell, if there were a way to see how it would work on a pc before installing it you would get an idea of what to expect once you did install it.

Also, it would be cool if it were possible to actualy program a virtual pc that would run the exe, in the sense that it's not ACTUALY a computer but rahter a computer simulating being a computer that's running the program if that makes any sense to you. Kinda like a flight simulator instead it'd be a PC simulator lol... odd I know but I find the concept amusing and could see some applications to it.

You could install a small proggie that basicly scans your pc and makes a virtual equivalent on the website to test programs or just runs it for programs your pc can't run if that's your fancy like say a good graphics program, or programs that aren't compatible with that OS like say a Mac application or Linux. There's a lot of opportunities I think.

I think it would just be cheaper to use an old beat up system to test programs for malware...

if you were going to simulate an entire PC, complete with OS, file system, internet connectivity, etc., methinks you'd need a supercomputer, and even then i dunno if it's a feasible concept.

also, i dunno how feasible it is that such a simulation would be able to visually present to you the effects of the malware. It ain't a case of glowing red skulls - the whole point of malware is that it's subversive.

Why did the chick on the left only get one tit enhancement? I've always generally thought that if you were going to get fake boobs you should get two. Just sayin.

Yeah, I thought about that but she seems a bit too lopsided for it to be just the 'top'....
