EA Reviews

In reconfiguring my LMD-Multicurrency EA tonight, I must have accidentally trashed the DLL file that was part of the package because I could no longer find it! So, I just figured I would go out to the FRWC website, log in, and download another copy to put on my VPS to be ready for next week. No big deal, right?

Well, the first thing I noticed was that I was having trouble downloading the EAs using Firefox on my VPS. I wasn’t getting an error message, but the file was nowhere to be found after downloading. When I tried it on Internet Explorer, I would get an error message which was something to the effect that it couldn’t save the file and that I should check to make sure my hard drive had not run out of room and that the user had the right permissions or something. I thought that was odd as it was the first time I had seen such an error. I figured maybe it was because it was an EXE file and the security on the VPS was not allowing such a file to be downloaded. So I turned off all the security and tried again — same result. Then I noticed that I was able to download other EXE files without a problem. So that wasn’t the issue. I then attempted to upload the file via FTP. But after the file would finish transferring, I could never find it in the directory anywhere. I also tried to upload it via the file manager in my VPS manager to no avail. There it would just give me a generic error message. So I finally decided to just run the installer on my local copy of Windows and then just transfer the EX4 and DLL files to the VPS. The LMD Multicurrency EX4 file transferred to the VPS just fine. But when I tried to bring the DLL file over, I got a warning from my AVG antivirus software that the DLL file was infected with a virus called Win32/Huer. I knew that FRXC said they had doublechecked all their files before making them available so I thought maybe AVG was just being too sensitive. So I tried to proceed and upload the file anyway, but my VPS again wouldn’t even accept it. I then decided to test the rest of the EAs. There were three EAs that were clean (Fusion, Nutcracker, and Cobalt), but the rest had this same problem.

The interesting thing is that I downloaded and installed LMD-Multicurrency on Tuesday of this week without any issues. So it would appear that something has changed with the files since that time. I am not trying to be an alarmist or anything, but I just wanted to report to you what I had experienced so you could be aware of it.

In any event, I can’t get the LMD robot reinstalled because I can’t get the DLL file to go onto my VPS. It’s crazy. I have contacted FRWC three times today via email but have not heard anything. I also attempted to call but just got a voicemail message. I have not seen the live chat open today, so it’s kind of frustrating.

If anyone would be willing to share their DLL file for the LMD robot with me, I would appreciate it greatly. Let me know if you would be willing to email it to me, and I will send you my email address. Hopefully I will hear from FRWC by tomorrow before trading begins, but you never know.

UPDATE (2/22/10): I received a response from the FRWC. They gave me a link in the members area where I could download all the experts in one ZIP file. After I did this, I was able to get LMD reinstalled. If anyone else needs this info, just contact me privately and I will gladly oblige. You will need to log in to be able to access the link. They made no comment on my suspicion that their previous files might have been infected. But I am back up and running again, so no harm, no foul I guess.
