pdnnoob Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The Megalo Effects pack is an unauthorized compilation of several plugin packs on this forum. There's a good chance some of the plugins in it are outdated and won't work with the latest version of paint.net. If you want the most recent version of the light rays plugin, it's a part of Madjik's plugin pack 1 Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

DarkShock Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 That plugin pack was last updated in January 2012, but that is still very recent. It was most likely updated to be compatible with Paint.NET 3.5 (current version). Just do what the guys before me said. Delete all of the plugins you downloaded from that other site and start getting your plugins from here. 1 Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----D E S T I N Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You should also run a full antivirus scan. There's no telling what that plugin pack had lurking in it. 1 Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Deleted Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I mean after you uninstall the offending software package. Hmm... Avast never detected anything in the paint.net directory but it detected the megalo effects setup as a virus. Evogen to be exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 That makes sense. They probably wouldn't go to the effort of infecting the actual effects when you're using their installer and infecting your machine anyway. I'd still recommend dumping them and using the official versions from this forum. 1 Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...
