I hosted a vcmp server . I turn it on when I play it. I only play it. My Brother told me to delete that server bcos of risk of getting virus to my pc. I and my bro use same computer. SO I want to know whether my computer be vulnerable to virus / any malicious attacks on my pc. If this pc got virus I can't buy a new one
Is it risky?
I don't know where did he remotely got an idea of getting a virus on your PC from a VCMP server.

I know None can send virus through vcmp -game but While The Server is On, If anyone sent any virus or attacked my pc?
Any connection to internet is a risk. If you have server - you're making your IP more popular to be attacked, also (any) server may contain vulnerability, so more servers running at your PC - more risk. But usually people infected himself PC by *.exe, *.pdf, ms office files, browsing with IE and so on.
And no guarantee you will be safe and not infected. Just keep back up of important data on hdd in your cupboard and don't worry about viruses.

Thanks. BTW is there any other way to host the server on any other remote servers like serversfree.com like free hosting ?
I personally don't know any free vps hosting, but as I know it's exists. You can try drake's free hosting http://forum.vc-mp.org/?board=25.0
As the developers say "should an exploit be found in the server". But I think nobody would spend his time finding this exploit.

Oops, your computer just loaded that image. Which means I just infected your computer. And the only way to get rid of it is to close this topic, delete your account and forget about this place.

That's exactly why you are not to run a server as root. If you want to host a server use these commands:
sudo -i
<your password>
useradd vcmp
mkdir /vcmp
chown vcmp /vcmp
su vcmp
now you can do any shit and you wont manage to hurt your pc at all
[but this is only for Linux]

Well, it'll still have access to your personal files. You should run it in a virtual machine if on windows.

Creating a new user can prevent this.
Or just don't host a server on a computer that has personal of sensitive information on it...

Creating new User prevent this? Are you sure? If Yes I will be very happy.
If no, no fear when Drake is here :)
No, not only creating, you need to remove the permissions of that user from accessing files from your PC except the VCMP's required files.
Still then, in VCMP, the attacks are not that frequent, nobody got time for that :p

This user can't access other users' files.

We just have to create new USer
one question. That User Account type: Standard / Administrator ?
Then From Where we should Block the User Don't have access to other files?
Can Virtual System Help Here?. I HAVE oracle Virtual Box But can't find windows iso.>>>>>

Standard obviously. Then you shouldn't be able to access other files.
Keep in mind that in order to run your server you actually need to login as that new user which means you wont be able to use your computer like you normally would.
A virtual system would work, but requires quite a bit of system resources like RAM and cpu. Windows ISOs for 8.1 and 10 can be downloaded using the Media Creation tool released by Microsoft (Google it).
I would prefer a lightweight linux instead.

Well, if you're running windows XP you can use Run as and in newer OS its not so easy but you have to switch user to the new user, open the server and switch back to your user
@Thijn I don't have the product Key . Lost It. And My download speed is not Enough.
So Lets move TO KAKAN idea.

I have windows 7
Now What Should I do? I Don't have product key and a good download speed for Birtual Box
2) Linux Can't run server32.exe [Is there any other blank server for Linux?]
3) I have WIndows 7
All thanks for helping.
Anybody knows the link for blank server for linux

runas /user:User server.exe
@Remu, there is a other executable available for Linux OS.
Just grab the linux server and plugins then. You can keep the script files, just replace the plugins and server executable.

Ok Thanks. I am going to download The Linux ISO for Virtual Box . I think Ubuntu is ok. Is there any other better Linux for this server hosting?

Sure, ubuntu is a good one. If you're familiar with CLI, download ubuntu-server, and if you want Windows like GUI, then Ubuntu Mate.
thanks. Problem Solved
