Gaim 2.00beta6
1. Run Application Verifier (free from Microsoft).
2. Add Gaim.exe.
3. Press Save. (some of the basic checks should be enabled by default).
4. Start gaim.
Gaim will crash at startup and looking at the Application Verifier log, the cause was a first chance access violation for current stack trace. Log with stack trace follows. The help file...

No, what I am saying is this scenario:
Assume Gaim has a network-accessible buffer overflow.
Person is using Windows Vista where they are essentially always a limited user or using Windows XP primarily as a limitd user.
Person begins a Gaim installation. As is necessary for installation, Windows Vista prompts for elevation or installer is manually elevated in Windows XP.
Person runs Gaim at...

The installer currently offers to launch Gaim at the end of installation. Because the installer requires privelige elevation, particularly in Windows Vista but applicable to Windows XP as well, the Gaim launched at the end of installation is running in the administrator's account instead of a hopefully limited user account. The general technique for fixing this issue is having a wrapper...

I would like to see the installer and installed
binaries digitally signed. Digital signatures help
guarantee both integrity of the executable as well as
authenticity. Since code signing certificates cost
money, I have donated $20 toward this cause through
the Register 7-zip link on the 7-zip site.

The installer is not digitally signed. Digitally
signing it helps ensure both authenticity and
integrity.

Internet Explorer 7 and if I recall correctly Internet
Explorer 6 SP2 block downloads triggered by
redirections. This is how SourceForge.net currently
starts downloads. As a click is needed to tell the
browser that the download is okay, there is no
convenience in using the redirection to start the
download. I would suggest that the redirection to
start the download part of the...

The reply from Thawte indicates that we can get a $100
discount making it $99 for 1 year or $299 for 2 year. I am
thinking this is not low enough to pursue since it makes it
the same price as the instantssl price range. If the person
who would actually get the certificate wants to talk to the
representative, it is riaanp at thawte dot com.

The message from Thawte would like to know whether the
certificate would be purchased as an organization or as an
individual. The indicate that the code signing certificates
are only available to companies since the publisher of the
code is shown as the organization. I will reply to them
pointing them to this bug report for any response.

I sent a message to GoDaddy, and they responded that
Microsoft's information about them offering code signing
certificates is wrong. I am now checking with Thawte to see
if they can offer some sort of discount for non-commercial
and/or open source software.

GoDaddy provides free SSL certificates for open source and
is listed as a root certificate provider for Authenticode
with Microsoft, so I sent them a message asking if they had
a similar free to open source program for Authenticode
certificates.
