Alright, both of you knock it off. This isn't the "debate on the qualities of AVG" thread

Actually, yeah, as far as I can tell it is a thread about recommending free antivirus software. Actually talking about which ones are better/worse than others is pretty important!

Thing is, the conversation isn't "which is better at catching and removing viruses", which is all I really care about right now. The topic has segued into "problems with uninstall, 'free' trials, pesterware, is AVG fake, etc", and it's threatening a derail.

Alright, both of you knock it off. This isn't the "debate on the qualities of AVG" thread, nor is it the "discus ethics and pedantics of trial software" thread. Take it to PMs if you're really interested.

So...what do you use instead of scanf? That's the only thing we've used in class so far.

I use std::cin>> more than anything else.

I'm getting a 'Error: name followed by '::' must be a class or namespace name' for the std.

You'd probably just piss off whatever-it-is that lives there, and it'll kill you the next time you set foot inside.

I have a question for anyone that might have an answer: Is it possible to select a large number of images and save them all at once? I tried something to that effect but to no avail. I finally got some motivation to begin planning out a forum game, and I don't want what little motivation I have to get whittled away from monotonous image collecting.

What sort of context are we talking about? If it is something where you're taking screenshots, you'll need to paste them into an image editor and save them individually, of course, but...

I'm getting alot of old Fire Emblem character sprites, but the only sites that have them are old ones that have them listed individually, and there's like a hundred to a game. I intend on altering the faces and such to create unique characters since I have little artistic skill myself, but something that simple is within my ability.

Here's an idea. If you're using Firefox, try right-clicking on one of the images and select Image Info. You'll see a list of all images, links, etc, on the current page in a pop-up window. Shift-click to select them all, and click the Save As... button. It might work, haven't tried it myself.

This actually worked perfectly. It DL'd all the images from the page, and all the images from all the other pages on the website as well somehow. Thank you very much.

Holy shit, I was helpful!
...mostly!

I kinda let this topic go. Oops

I installed MalwareBytes, because I do remember using that before (forgot the name, which is why I forgot to include it in the first post). It's working fine, and so far no hits. Still undecided about AV software, but a few people I know use Avast so I might try it in conjunction with MSE. Unless they don't work together, which would make me a sad panda.

I do use Firefox with Adblock, which does help.
