evil_mumm_ra Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 it isn't harmful, it's the official runescape client. jagex would be SOL if they sent out a virus with that. it's just a false positive, but i'm (and toast) are stuck cause we can't redownload or anything, it always gets flagged for me at least. i can't even open it.

Cha0sx Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Jagex's Creator on the AVG False Alarm: Quick find code: 25-26-570-57662789 " Andrew Jagex Mod 26-Sep-2008 20:41:48 A popular antivirus program called AVG was updated today with new virus definitions. Unfortunately these definitions seem to be slightly broken, and are giving false alarms about our downloadable RuneScape client. I would like to assure you that runescape[Caution: Executable File], as downloaded from this website, does NOT contain a virus. In fact the file hasn't even changed since 2006! I've just double checked and it's the exact same file it has been for years. We suspect the reason for this false alarm is as follows: runescape[Caution: Executable File] is compressed (made smaller for quicker downloading) using a freely available program called UPX. We think this is confusing AVG, and causing it to mistake runescape[Caution: Executable File] for a totally unrelated virus which was also compressed with UPX. The false alarm only comes up for the downloadable windows client (from our extra downloads section), so if you are still worried about it you can just play from our website using your web browser instead. We hope AVG will fix this in their next definitions update. However I repeat: Our download does not have a virus in it! If you have any further questions, we suggest you contact AVG directly.

Cha0sx Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Ok, can anyone who is very tech-savvy help me? I had two cases of the runescape[Caution: Executable File] problem, because I had two of them apparently, and they were both in AVG Free's Virus Vault. Now I deleted them, and I thought this would destroy the virus too. But now I have had a new occurrence come up. Trojan horse Downloader.Generic7.AUDD was found in C:\System Volume Information\_restore{1D1D6F93-1B0C-4060-8079-09274A8 1BD2A}\RP118\A0014574[Caution: Executable File] I have it stored in my AVG Virus Vault at this very moment, so are there any courses of action I should take? Is this where the file went when I deleted the previous exe's from the vault? Also an E-mail scanner pop-up came from AVG randomly as it was connecting to what looked like my IP, and it said it found "no other messages" in a popup. Possibly because I sent the new Trojan Downloader exe(the one in system volume...) to be analyzed? But I did not provide an email... I hope I'm not being seriously hacked by a program I accidently downloaded. I never download illegal files or anything like that so I don't know how this would happen.

urbestfreind Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 @Chaos ^^ Seems like you got a copy of it in your restore point. Nobody is hacking you, just AVG being inferior again. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_de ... estore_EXE That pretty much has your answer. You could also go back and delete that restore point as well. That program has more false positives than Pamela Anderson has silicone in her breasts.

das Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 To be fair AntivirusXP 2008 isnt exactly nerfed by any one program yet. We ran some tests with it in a controlled setting in our lab.

Sbrideau Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 http://www.av-comparatives.org That's biased. Says that Norton has better scores than what most of antiviruses and that it's very fast. I wouldn't trust a site like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 How would you know it's biased or not? Have you tried the most recent versions of Norton? Norton has had a history of being pretty heavy on resources, but more recent versions of the AV have proven to be more efficient overall. Norton has always had a good reputation for on-demand scans and perhaps the other vendors just slipped up that one month. If you look up past reports, you'll find that Norton isn't consistently in the top ranks. What makes you personally say otherwise? You can check up their methodology on the site by clicking the link in the report (I can't direct link to it) Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
