It's tricky to link to QA Answers because when it is gone, your link ends up pointing at the Question, not the Answer, which I believe is this[^] little gem.

Yes you are correct sir! That is actually the edited version.

It seems this article C++ Runtime Crypter[^]
serves no purpose except to provide a means to beat antivirus programs.

The solution could be used as an obfuscator, but it appears that the article writer's main purpose is to defeat anti-virus programs.
The question is - does CP want to allow articles that describe "dual-use" technology of this kind?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

In my personal opinion it is better if the article remains as it caould serve as a basis for members to improve on detection of virus. Wether we like it or not these technologies will be explained and this knowledge will be shared - only it will be done on the less savory sites, where you are guaranteed that the members will only be interested in its malicious uses.
I like to think that here on CP (and in the world) there is mostly decent folk and while this knowledge could be used for malicious purposes this is a trait with all knowledge: an accomplishe mechanic can very well sabotage a car to kill a person, a good locksmith can definetely crack a lot of locks, a medic has the knownledge that enables him to kill and poison people without getting caught, a policeman has both the training and the weapons to make a fine robber and so on so forth.

It's a fair call. However my guess is that there are many more people searching the internet for how to create viruses than there are people looking for ways to create anti virus software. The article should in that case stick to the beneficial aspects of the technique and not mention evading anti virus software at all.

Good catch!
Initially, I thought it was just the image, but ... search both for "During the development process, developers and designers can work more independently and concurrently on their components." and "The designers can concentrate on the view, and if they are using Expression Blend, they can easily generate sample data to work with, while the developers can work on the view model and model components." and it's obvious.

That first sentence was exactly my first search, where I caught it! Spotting the image only reinforced the conclusion.

Ok, I trust in your recommendation. But it is a little bit questionable to clear a six year member without given him a second chance....

Spam is spam. And the longer he has been a member, the more he should understand that.

|

Yes, that is also a view 
Sometimes I think members are cleared to fast. But yes, spam seems not f(member since) 
Thanks for your comment.

I am not sure I agree with that. The Live Streaming, Escort Services, Movers, etc. is truly spam, but this is a development tool and there is a free edition. If this was an established product like Xamarin, we would let the article through - well, we would not really let it through since the content is too thin, but we would not flag it as spam.
Anyway, it's not like I will be kicking and screaming if our community decides this is spam. And even though the member profile is 6 years old, it has made zero posts prior to this submission, so it will not be a great loss if the account is closed.

I'd disagree - there is a free trial version, but the purpose of the article is to drum up trade and feed people to the paid version. That's OK, but ... the site runs on adverts. They pay the staff, they pay the enormous sunflower seed bills, they pay for the servers. And if we let free adverts through, that undermines the revenue stream which pays for the whole site - because why should advertisers pay Chris and co to post ads if they can get the same effect for free? Too much of that, and the site closes...
