Damn! I already installed "nothingnastyinherenosireedefinatelynovirusesortrojans.apk" and I was wondering why my bank account was emptying... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Most Antivirus engines will use a static check for known bad stuff using signitures, or if is running then it can be flagged using the way the program works.
The problem is there are so many ways to hide what the program does from normal searches they may not be discovered untill a person sepends alot of time going thru it.
I've been doing malware research lately and have seen some pretty crazy ways they hide there real code from the antivirus engines.
So Yes, it is possible malware could slip by.
You would have to trust the source where they are downloaded from and also the author of the file.

I think "someone" may have missed the fundamentals of CCC design. 
The lines have been blurred lately in this forum, I must admit, but in the original format a clue always comprised two clues:
1 a pure lexical one
2 a witty metaphor or such
Life is too shor

Explain please ?

Someone did eventually solve yesterdays by email.

Clue 1. I'll admit the clue is UK-centric, but I'm sure someone should be able to deliver the answer.
Clue 2. The answer is the solution.
Clue 3. Pat would get this in a zip.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I know it!
Was yesterdays the same but the un-pluralised version? I thought it when you posted the same clue but couldn't get it from the cities.
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, yesterdays word was a very different word.
The cities matter.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
will we ever get to know yesterdays answer?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but it would give away today's as the code is exactly the same.
I didn't go with today's yesterday as I thought it was blindingly obvious, which is often the way when you know the solution.
I think I may have tried to be too clever and buggered it up.
I did consider going with Salisbury East Central London Truro Saint Albans for a different eight letter word today but stopped with what I thought was the basic one.

Yeah I don't know what that one is.

1B, 8W - so I'm guessing you do know the answer.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah told you that in the 1st post. Got it without the clues but I thought it was yesterdays answer also.
|
|
|
|
|
So if you know the answer, do you know the solution, and therefore yesterday's answer too?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
No. I get Swifglles for that.

POSTCODEX?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
Erm, 8B
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, it was Pompey that gave it to me - along with an anagram-working-out-site that takes wildcards.
So I figured I'd leave it to him! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Go on then I'll take it - seeing as you put Portsmouth in there and I'm, dying to know what yesterdays answer is.
Postcodes
Just don't be expecting anything great tomorrow.

So, if postcodes is both the answer AND the solution?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
ah it's the postcodes of the cities,not necessarily the first two letters. So yesterdays answer was Swiggles.
