Uh-Oh.......

Guys, if this is true then we'd need to be more careful of who and what we trust for our tweaking proggies:

https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/7jppow/please_tell_me_ryzen_timingchecker_is_not_virus/

I personally have no way of verifying it and we'd need to view this with some consideration towards The Stilt but at the same time it's entirely possible. I guess what I'm saying is "From what we do know as a point of history, The Stilt has done nothing but help..... Then again people do change..... Or even set things up earlier to do something of this nature later", the later meaning gain the trust of the community as a whole by doing things helpful first, then proceed with your real agenda once that's been established.

However I cannot say IF that's the case here or not. 

If confirmed it would make you wonder what else has been done, by whom and exactly what. I also cannot call him guilty of anything at this time, I have to at least give some due or credit to him, however it does seem that there could well be evidence of this being a legit claim.

EDIT:
One of the threads has been deleted and the other so far has seen a couple of replies that says it isn't an actual threat.
I did this to give you guys a heads-up of what was going around, apparently at this time it's probrably false/fake news so I'd view it that way until something of substance is proven, if it's ever proven at all.

The Stilt is an AMD legend I couldnt see him doing that on purpose I would say his file has been replaced on the server by hackers with the trojan.

The "Official" thread of the proggy and where some of it is coming from.
I did see on page 62 where it seemed to start and it does appear to be someone making an assumption and running with it. I'll watch this in how it develops and where it goes - Probrably straight into a brick wall but you never really know, we've seen some strange stuff before.

I do say it woudn't make any sense for him to do that and there really isn't anything (Yet) to prove otherwise.

I'm not running that app thankfully. thanks for the heads up.

I woudn't be too worried about it.
Stilt responded with an explanation of what's up: www.overclock.net/t/1644049/regarding-the-recent-fud-about-ryzen-timing-checker-rtc#post_26501059

He did come foward to address the issue, view things with a grain of salt if you will but now it's looking more like it's total FUD what the accuser was saying.

[ShrimpBrime]

Haha he even gives the directions to audit the binary code! He's very well respected and has better integrity than that. Any one that would ever believe he would drop Trojans in the program is absurd.

[Bones]

I figured as much, he's well known for his knowledge with things like this.
I still had (At the time) to say something because of the possibility, however since this has been proven as total FUD by now it's of no concern anymore.

Carry on guys.

Haha, I know it's an older thread. Just catching up
