I need someone to scan this program for viruses and make sure it does not steal your password or anything please:

Seems safe, but has some useraccount references that i don't know what do. Use at own risk.

I need at least 4 other people to test this please.

Our family needs to know this portable version of IMVU is safe before we support it.

The program works fine. There is only 1 bug: You have to delete all the files it makes if you want to re run Imvu after closing it.

I Windows 7, "qualityagent.exe" will crash if you try to re run it without deleting the files first.
In Windows Xp, it will pop up an error message telling you it can't run.

So just delete all the files it creates which should be in the same folder as the "Run IMVU.exe" file.

I ran a Wireshark test on it and I did not come across anything suspicious, everything was related to Imvu.com and my A/V said it was clean. I also ran it in a virtual environment and didn't see anything happen that shouldn't have.

I didn't get any viruses when I tested it either. Although, I have to partially disagree with DM. I found it to be highly unstable on a windows XP professional system. Maybe my computer was just being picky, but it crashed several times, before it finally started working normally again even with deleting the files. But yeah, ran it in a sandbox mode, no suspicious activity, ran several anti malware, antivirus scans, all read it as clean.

I ran it on XP in a Virtual Box but I have another computer here with Xp on it, Ill try it on that.

EDIT: I tried 2 versions of Imvu Portable on a Windows Xp machine I have here and they both gave me this error:

So it appears to be looking for an Imvu installation. This computer has never had Imvu installed on it so naturally the files aren't there. I think it defeats the whole purpose of "portable" if you have to have Imvu installed anyway. Might as well just run the client that's installed on the machine..

The virtualbox I tested these on before and my computer both have Imvu installed on them already so that's probably why it ran fine on them.
