Bitdefender removed DGS?


Dura

Recommended Posts

Hello all

 

I'm here to post yet another problem. In the past few weeks, my antivirus (Bitdefender total security) 'tolerated' using DGS. Today I tried running the app and it was removed because it was detected as suspicious/malware. Is there any explanation for this? I do not want to risk ending up like the users of SK when the app was hacked.

 

Thank you for reading.

It's still completely safe. If it's being flagged now it's because I've only recently been pushing through updates after a month or two or none. Of course, though, make sure you're only running one downloaded from Tip.It's webpage.

 

Files have reputation. When I push through an update, I'm releasing a new file - thus not having the reputation of the version before it. This is the main reason Norton and TrendMicro remove it.

 

If you can give me your version of Bitdefender, I'll contact them and get it sorted. Just finished with Symantec (Norton) removing the resource.dll. :P.

Dear Stev,

 

Thank you for your quick reply (yet again!). My bitdefender version is total security 2012, version 15.0.38.1605.

 

I will redownload the app soon. By the way, I keep getting 'port scans' too, could this have anything to do with DGS? Maybe very unlikely but as you're the pro... :D

 

Thanks again!

What do you mean you're getting "port scans"? If you elaborate, I may be able to help. :P.

 

Edit: Am sorry mate, as I assume you're typing a reply as I type this, but I've been up all night and my eyes are slowly closing. If I don't reply right away, I will first thing when I wake up. :P.

Well my security pack is Dutch so I thought that would be the correct translation lol. I've looked up the wiki-page of this issue and it seems to have a related one in English. This is the page: http://en.wikipedia....i/Port_scanner. I have no clue what it is to be honest, but it seems to give me more of these notifications (a port scan has been blocked) since I have been using DGS. It could be coincidence of course, I'm just trying to find what is triggering these port scans :P.

 

Thanks a lot again.

 

Edit: Mate, no worries, I do not expect you to reply immediately lol, you're not a hotline :P. But I really appreciate your help :-).

DGSweeper does use different connection methods then it used to, but nothing close to port scanning. I've simply swapped out a few WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1s for $.post()s. :P.

 

Going to be pushing through an update today, so you may get the problem for a day or so again. :P.
