| Hi synnack, If I where you, I would only test devices from maxforlive.com on virtual computers (VMware) after making a snapshot. But life is short and this severely limits what you can achieve within your lifetime... If someone wants to distribute malware using a MFL device he already has access to the file system and other resources using Javascript. If someone publishes a device with a link to auxiliary resources he probably do even more harm. If you don't trust the software, don't download it. But this is true for any device on maxforlive.com. The count of Ableton Live users who also bought MFL is not interesting for people/companies that distribute virusses. People who are using Live with MFL on stage are keen to never ever connect their notebooks to the internet and thoroughly test any new software before installing it on this computer. |
| AWESOME!!!!!!!! |
