Attention! The following sets have tested positive for malware (falsely as well) some of which have been fixed/reuploaded, removed or supplied with explanatory notes:

Alone in the Dark (62): Disk 1 had orphaned TATOU.COM infected with Cascade-1701 virus, which would trigger detection. Used the healthy TATOU.COM file to replace the former in the same clusters and cleaned the junk data.

Bundesliga Manager Hattrick (161): INSTALL.EXE on both disk 1 and 2 was infected with Tai-Pan.438 virus. Cleaned.

Tag Team Wrestling (391): Was infected with DIR-II cluster virus. Cleaned.

Quake (540): Disk 1 may test positive for Sanesecurity.Malware.27279.LZHHeur.Exe.UNOFFICIAL. False threat.

King's Quest 5: Absence Makes the Heart go Yonder! (1422): INSTALL.EXE seems to have been overwritten manually due to being infected with Tai-Pan.438 virus. Leftovers of the former file were still in the clusters, which triggered detection. Cleaned.

Star Legions (1447): May test positive for Win.Trojan.RVPS-1. VirusTotal didn't reveal anything. In all likelihood a false threat.

Corrected, thank you.

id 2937: wrong year

Atorm, Thanks a lot! Both mistakes corrected.

id 2751: Italian language
id 2779: erroneously added under the game "Manhunter: New York"

ID's 1662 and 1663 (Tie Fighter) are duplicate entries. Can I replace one of them with a working set, which is now available?

Gruby, Corrected! Disk 2 has embedded AT, otherwise a match to ID 1929.

000054_eco_quest: is EcoQuest 1 - The Search for Cetus, English, v1.000
Tested with DOSBox ECE, installer ran without any errors, the game started.
- The Game is English not German!

Corrected! Thank you.

Empire Deluxe (5) floppy images test:
Tested with DOSBox ECE. The Game and the Scenariodisk Language is German not English!

The installer ran without any errors. The installed game started to the copy protection screen, but I could not test it because the English manual or codes.txt is not good for the German questions.

Lure of the Temptress (116): Had modified OEM IDs and embedded last access timestamps. Replaced with clean set.

Because this is a beta version. Sorry, we shall go final soon and put everything down in a written form.

My question is the same as in all the last x months: why is this policy not written down in a structured manner and put out for public review before creating yet another irreversible fait accompli situation?

Yes, but be sure, I know what I'm doing. There is a very small chance that something will go wrong, however delicate this may seem. I do a lot of checking, comparing and zero guesswork. However, if you suggest we should use a backup folder and move original uploads there just in case, I'm ok with that. Honestly, that idea didn't even cross my mind, because I've had no issues so far.
