Virut infection

[jabs]

Flaming cliff (download files) is infected by win32virut in the exe . :mad:

 

Solution ?

[GGTharos]

False positive. It is rather unlikely there is any virus in the download.

[jabs]

try and see

[jabs]

lockon exe is infected

[Joe Kurr]

Which virus is found in the exe then?

[Groove]

Which Anti-Virus program did you used ?

 

And as Joe Kurr already posted - which virus is found inside the .exe ?

[jabs]

i use avast and the virus is called virut

[Groove]

Are you using Service Pack 2 for your Windows XP ?

 

Which files are infected regarding your Antivirus solution ? Only the FC exe ?

[jabs]

[jabs]

Grieve for my English

I think its a false positive. Download some other AV solution and re-check it. I would go for NOD32 from www.eset.com

[jabs]

[Groove]

Jabs did you tried a second AV program ?

[jabs]

[jabs]

I follow grieve to bother you with this the guys

[Kuky]

hm, I don't understand either how download from ED's official web can have a virus... I think too that possibly that virus scan is thinking there's some virus in the exe when there isn't or... somehow you already had some virus and it spread? Can this happen at all?

[jabs]

it thinks it during the installation of flaming cliff

We are here to help you.

 

When i come home i will check the files for Virus Alerts using my AV suite.

 

You downloaded the 1.1 Patch, is this correct?

[jabs]

Jabs, I've searched a bit and found these pages, which might be helpful:

 

http://www.avast.com/eng/win32-virut.html

http://www.grisoft.com/doc/virbase/us/crp/0?nam=Win32%2FVirut

 

Please download the latest virus definitions and run a complete scan, and see if you have any other files which are infected by this virus.

If you have this virus on your computer, it may be infecting the files while you are installing them.

 

Please let us know the result of the scan, so we can help you further.

During downloading this last starts me alarm. I have scanner my hd and it finds it on the file of FC. A compatriot had the same worry on a French forum he has cut his av.

We are using Dr. Web antivirus here. It doesn't find any viruses in lockon.exe. But Avast does find. Only in executable protected with StarForce ProActive. Executable with StarForce Professional is "ok" to Avast.

 

I wrote to Avast already.

Strange my post doesnt show here but i tested and replied yesterday that NOD32 from www.eset.com dont find any virus.

 

But good to ged a confirmation from you Tez!
