Anyone can fix this weather app source code so we can put it in the Code Bank?

I found this weather app coded in VB6 somewhere, but it shows an error and I'm too lazy to deal with it :p
If you can fix it, we can then put it in the Code Bank I guess.

I couldn't add as an attachment so I uploaded to MediaFire:
< removed by moderator >

I'm just too lazy to even download it.

Category: Virus

Description: This program is dangerous and replicates by infecting other files.

Recommended action: Remove this software immediately.

Virus:Win32/Sality.AT is a detection for a virus that spreads by infecting Windows executable files and by copying itself to removable and remote drives.
It also terminates various security products, prevents certain Windows utilities from executing and attempts to download additional files from a predefined remote Web server.

I've reported the Post so that the Mods can remove the attachment.

@kevinKZzaka:Whatever did you think you were doing? Behaviour like this could lead to a ban from these Forums. I would suggest you read the Acceptable Use Policy http://www.vbforums.com/aup.html and and keep your posts within those rules.

An overwhelming majority of AVs at VirusTotal detect the Weather.exe file as being infected by the Sality virus. The other binary file (CWL.dll) had only 1 detection.

I've removed the link... thanks for letting us know folks :thumb:


kevinKZzaka, please do not ever post or link to compiled files (.exe / .dll / .ocx / ...) as they are unsafe. In addition to that, a compiled program (as opposed to code) does nothing towards helping us to assist you.

If this is the line that is causing problems

vb Code:

Private Doc As DOMDocument

You do not have a type called "DOMDocument" anywhere within the project.

Omg guys I am so sorry. I did not know it contained a virus. I just downloaded the project, tested it and I was hoping if someone could fix it. I am using Webroot secure anywhere and it did not detect anything. I uploaded the whole folder on Mediafire without removing the exe file or anything else because maybe it could help you in some way. My intention was not to spread a virus or infect any of you and I am deeply sorry about this incident.

You are right. There is no DOMDocument type. But the "doc" which represents the "DOMDocument" is used a lot in the project so I don't know, maybe sth is missing. Thanks anyway
