Alt.Binz doesn't look very similar to NewsLeecher in my opinion and I bet you can't give me a link that proves what you have said.
Is SuperSearch worth it?

I found it one of those threads, can't remember which one, but I have no reason to lie, I use Alt.binz too, but it was designed from a NL Beta years ago.
It's also been talked about and mentioned here at FST.
True Story
If you need more proof, start a thread at the NL forums and ask. Now Alt.binz may not look like NL, but if you look at the features from the very first release is based on NL's code base. Now there is a article in one of those forums discussing this, and here at FST...the dev got frustrated with NL, and decided to start his own and developed Alt.binz froma NL beta source.
Why the fuck would I lie, I use Alt.binz occassionally, when NL gets to many downloads loaded, saves me the trouble of moving files up in the queue...but hey, it's feature list on the "free version" is identical to NL's, why do you think NL's supersearch is imbedded in alt.binz?

No, the dev (Rdl) was never connected with NL. I don't know the threads to which you're referring, but I can't imagine that they're anything but misguided speculation - links?
On the other point: I'm not sure what you think we can do about it. The free version of Alt.Binz is distributed through the site http://www.altbinz.net, and the latest versions from the Contributors forum. The trojans haven't been coming from there, I assure you. They were posted to usenet by what we must assume are just opportunists who saw the crack requests. Who knows why people do these things.
If you or anyone else wants to check whether their system has been compromised, why not install wireshark and see whether anything is phoning home. Hopefully decent AV will have picked it up and protected from the worst damage.
As for problems with 0.25.0: well, I can only speak from experience at the Alt.Binz forums. For 99% of users, it's rock solid. For the rest, we try as best we can to work out what's interfering with it on the users system. Top culprits so far have been: AV packages, intrusive firewalls, bad memory, bad HD, badly configured setup.

If both are infected then for sure they are not scene releases. I'll send it to kaspersky and find out what's going on and why Kaspersky doesn't pick it up. So ESET is picking it up?
I assure you I have no bad setup, it's a band new system, I had Vista on it, brand new built from scratch everything...it would constatnly freeze my PC and be forced to to a hard re-boot. AV is ESET, Firewall Is Commodo. And I'm not a noob on setup, so I've checked and checked and gave up. Maybe it was just Vista :lol: Like I said, ESET will be contacting me hopefully soon and we can all see if it is indeed a trojan that phones home. My thoughts on the cracking situation is take donations back down to where there once where, if no one has noticed, no one has money to spend, hence the program being cracked. On the other hand, if ESET says it doesn't phone home and doesn't hack people then what?
BTW, what do I keep repeating you mentioned in your first post? That both cracked version seem like they are virus's? If you look in the software section you can clearly see I stated ESET picked them up.
How does one get SS working for free on NL? I had a version that used to work, but one day it stopped. I uninstalled it, and now whenever I seem to find a new version of Usenet and install it, it just brings up my previously uninstalled version, with the same settings and even a previous search history.

Kaspersky is supposed to be at the top along with NOD32. I have kaspersky on 2 computers at home and NOD32 on the other 2.

In Vista/Windows 7 go to, User,Appdata,Roaming and delete the Newsleecher folder after you've uninstalled it. Also, before uninstalling, remove the key. If you didn't remove the key, which I think (unsure) the key is removed by deleting the Appdata NL folder maybe not if not, just use Regedit and click Find and search Newsleecher and then delete the key. NL 3.9 Finall is the only one I've tested for supersearch to work...
Windows XP I assume it's User,Application Data, and then find the NL folder.
Those folder are hidden too and protected, so you need to unhide folder and unhide protected operating system files, in all OS's
When I first signed up at Giganews (i'm with astraweb now) I got the Newsbin Giganews client and supersearch came with it, at least for a few days.

I love supersearch. It's what I use most. I was using Newsleecher but I found that the latest betas are buggy. I guess 3.9 Final must be stable. Anyways I'm using Alt.Binz for now. And yes both of them seem to have almost the exact same features and I could see how Alt.Binz was built off NL. Oh yeah the Alt.Binz programmer now wants a $15 euro donation at least to be able to get the latest version and he added user name password protection and I believe this has not been fully cracked yet.
Oh I just saw this on usenet Alt.Binz.v0.30.0.WinAll.REAL-CRD
Maybe it's fully cracked now.

iND is not a specific person/group, it means an individual released it. If you are not part of a group then you are supposed to tag it as -iND. If you ever come accross another iND release then most likely it'll be from someone else and not related in any way. 
I've not tried these cracked versions yet, dont need to, I contributed
Actually the scene puts out quite a lot of crap and dodgy stuff, heck it wouldn't surprise me if they got the cracked altbinz from usenet and just repacked it.
Go through advanced settings in NOD32 and make sure you haven't got advanced heuristics enabled for anything. It's overkill and tends to make some apps crash.

Alt.Binz v0.30.0 - NEEDS TO BE CRACKED!!!

Release Notes

This needs to be cracked to use. I am posting this so a group or an individual
can do so. Alt.Binz, is a great news reader and is worth the 15 euros (approx
$20) asking price, however the creator and some of the admins aren't worth [b]shit[/b].
Lets keep this news reader open for all the usenet community to use :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Install the altbinz0.25.exe, then browse to where it is installed.
2: Overwrite the altbinz.exe with the one from the Altbinz v0.30.0 folder.Posted on usenet, then posted to VDOWN, then posted to a few other sites that might have a workig fix for it :lol:
And yes that contains the "un touched" contributed download exe :ghey:
Real scene cracks are generally caught by AV's, reason being, the software used to actually crack it. Also, AV companies want your money, so they do that also to make you think you have a tojan or whatever, and these heuristic scanners now-a-days are stupidly over protective.

I didn't get any warnings on my Avira Security Suite. I do like the free supersearch.

Hmmmm, I didn't post that to usenet, I found it there, I did not post it to VD someone else did, and did not at other warez sites as well, but no one has cracked it or is working tooooooo crack it because they don't want to..so it's pointless to get upset, since, I did not post it, second I did not donate, so how do I have the untouched exe? Someone at the Alt.binz forums is obviously pissed at the admins/mods and did this. That was just some info I dug up, besides the forum it's posted at it's internal, and "rarely" does anything leak or get pre'd/posted else where.
BTW, if it's hacking password it's hacking legit users who are for whatever reason installing this and using a password username, may I ask why they would do that? That sounds, well, you know, not smart.
