I just wanted to set the record straight. RivaTuner is an excellent prog and all the more so at the price. Darn shame that Trojan piggy-backed in with it or however it got here. And I found what seems to be a Trojan called fraps.exe which is a prog to give you frame rates. Once installed it hides and no AV prog I could find could get rid of it. If you doubt me see what is said about it on Google. Luckily I had a full back-up made just hours before I hatched the demon prog.
Please keep in mind that bashing other software products will not be tolerated here. I'm 100% certain that you're mistaking and your problems were not caused by FRAPS. It's a nice and professionally coded tool.
I really have to question where you are getting your software from. First you disparage Riva Tuner and now Fraps is a Trojan? No. It's not. You have issues, but don't blame the software. Blame your downloading habits.
fraps doesn't come with rivatuner, if you downloaded a cracked full version of fraps and got a virus because of it, you have no right complaining, and it serves you right.
