After spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.
It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.
Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.
Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.
Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.
Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.
This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.
If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.

I tried to download one of the apps on this list (RockXP) and Avast alerted me it contained malware. Ironic, since Avast is on the list too.

While downloading RockXP [768 KB | Freeware | Win XP] RockXP can help you to easily retrieve your XP product key as well as any other keys for your other Microsoft products. This may not sound like a big deal, but it can be if you need to reinstall a program and you've misplaced the product key information.
McaFee as well as WIndows Defender stopped it as a serious problem, with virus detected.
Is this a false positive or does it have a virus piggy backing on it?

I appreciate the information, but a REAL help would be to put all the files into a ZIP file for me to download all with one click...
No comment yet on the trojans - I'll see what AVG says about them...

AVG anti-spy/virus did not complain about the downloads. Usually SnapFiles is pretty good about making sure they don't give you bad stuff!

I have one and they're awesome, a program I always keep on it is the PC De-Crapifier, good for clearing Dell PCs of all the bloated software!

Although I haven't used "KeePass Password Safe", I have been using "Password Safe" (by Counterpane Systems) for years and recommend it. Note that the later is open source.
