Virus/Malware
Hi guys I have sabnzbd set to auto check file, auto repair, auto unrar and auto delete and then transfer the completed file to a different drive from the downloaded drive. Many times I just leave it running overnight and I am wondering about the virus/malware, since I have everything set to auto. As long as I don't click on anything that's finished download I am ok, is that right? or do you guys turn the off the auto thing?
Re: Virus/Malware
SABnzbd never executes anything, not do the used par2 and unrar tools.
All downloaded content is passive, downloaded exe files are not executed.
The only "attack vector" would be a vulnerability in the unrar tool.
As far as I know such a vulnerability has never been reported.
