Not really a question but more a warning. The computer on which I run GBPVR rcently became infected with a new variant of Trojan.DNS-changer. I noticed the infection since, when booting the computer, it would immediately reboot at the point when GB-PVR Recording Service started. I was only able to boot the computer by going into safe mode and disabling the Recording Service. This is a symptom of the virus which I have not seen reported elsewhere and is only of interest to those of us running GB-PVR. Thinking the problem was with corrupted GBPVR files I unnecessarily reinstalled GB-PVR although the program itself is in no way affected by the virus. (I expect sub will be able to explain why it causes the crash).
Other symptoms of the virus are inability to open MyComputer by double clicking (although you can Explore it by right clicking) and clicking on a link, after doing a Google search, will redirect you to different link.
The virus is transmitted by opening an infected networked drive, USB stick or USB drive or if you download dodgy video codecs.
