I let the program download and start to install the newest update and AVG is coming up with a Trojan alert. When I let it heal the Trojan it deletes the Connect.exe I also tried Spybot S&D on file and it comes up with the same thing. Is this just because the program allows access to machine for the DSM-330 or is it a real alert? If anyone has a answer or idea what is going on it would help alot.
I have noticed that 1.4 also locks up my NAS drive to the point that only pulling the plug on it to reset it will work. When I do not have Connect running and DSM unit is powered off the NAS operates fine and has no problems, but as soon as I run Connect and watch any media file using the DSM unit the NAS locks up after 10 or 15 min.

Final info on virus scan

We have found that AVG and NOD32 were detecting a "phantom" trojan horse virus that did not really exist in our software. NOD32 has since issued an update which no longer flags our 1.4.0.54 beta server. Our newest build does not trigger AVG's anti-virus. We will test any new builds against these programs before releasing them so this should not be an issue in the final update.

Info on virus scanners

The type of virus scan that is being done in these cases is an aggressive heuristic method that attempts to identify unknown potential viruses based on patterns in the code.

That type of virus detection is not 100% accurate. In order to be effective at identifying new viruses, it must sometimes flags programs that do not have viruses.

We have run the same scan on our latest build and it does not detect any viruses. The changes that we made to the code were very minor bug fixes.

We have submitted our executables to the virus scan company and are awaiting their reply, but our engineers are certain that this is a false positive.

We will ensure that the next beta or production release will not cause this issue.

Trojan detected by AVAST with build 1.4.0.54

Same problem here with WIN XP Pro and AVAST (VPS from today).
Even leaving the download go to the end, impossible to install the new beta release (either manually or auto-update)

So back to 1.3, until safer behavior

Thank You

Thank You for the quick response. I am going to allow it to install the update and I will post if I have any of the same problems.

<< It will not allow me to install the update even if I tell it to ignore it. I had to reinstall 1.3 and it works fine>>

Trojan - Generic11.UYS

I've been running 1.4 for a few days without any problems

However, I have just done the latest Windows Update (XP Pro) and a message was displayed when I rebooted

Using Steganos which use AVG

Don't know whether it is the Windows Update or the daily AVG update that has caused this

No message when I originally booted up at about 0700 this morning

Hi, i have the same problem with version 1.4 beta

Hi,

my anti-virus (avg) found a virus (Trojan horse Generic11.UYS) inside of DivxConnected.exe file,

is it a reel virus ?

even if i close my AVG, windows vista don't allow me to execute it ...

thanks
Dominic
