Vis-Title Trojan

[Olaf]

I haven't had time to look into this but I came home today to find that Kapersky virus checker said it found a trojan in part of the vis-title folder. As I said, I haven't examined anything yet nor tried to run Edius with the Vis-Title fob plugged in.

Has anyone had similar issues or heard of the same?

[Harro]

Found the same thing. Downloaded Vistitle v1.8.6 and Kaspersky found viruses after Vistitle was installed. Kaspersky got rid if them and all is fine now, I hope.

can you open Kaspersky and go to reports, see which file it removed as a trojan

also, see if anything vistitle related is in the quarantine

As mentioned in another thread, modern virus scanners do a good deal of "best guessing" which can increase the false-positive rate.

Just because it's flagged as malware doesn't guarantee it's malware, so it's always a good idea to check which file(s) have been flagged and of course check with the software vendor as well.

Antivirus killed my disk wipe utility once when I needed to actually use it. Good thing I had another copy on a write-protect-able medium.

There have been problems in the past with Vistitle having false positives. I downloaded the latest version and did not have anything show up as a problem.

Kaspersky Quarantined:
1. vxmvmaker.exe
2. vistitlesetup1.86_eng_full.zip
3. data000
4. VisTitleSetup1.86_ENG_Full.exe
5. vistitlesetup1.86_eng_full.exe
6. data0001

Installed and re-installed VisTitle v1.8.6 a second time and both times 6 Trojan's were reported and quaranteened by Kaspersky.

Just installed 1.86 on a fresh machine and scanned with Microsoft security essentials and it did not find any viruses. This is a version of the full install I downloaded as soon as it was available.

[dpalomaki]

What are McAfee, Symantec/Nortion, etc. saying? Do they sense an issue?

[THoff]

Submit the files in question to VirusTotal to have them analyzed by most of the big AV engines using current definitions.

I just installed 1.86 and ESET security 5 had no issues with it.

[shueardm]

Is there a false positive with version 2.3.1 FULL installer?

[GrassValley_PS]

IIRC, I had no problems. This seems to be a reoccurring problem.

@ shueardm
please, what is your VA-application ??

we have here in the german speech area some unclear issue
with vistitle in combination from 6.53 and imperfect close Edius on the end from a session.

THX .....

[shueardm]

I am not sure I understand the question.

[CentralEurope]

please, what is your Anti Virus programm, that tell you in the above picturel the "VisTitleSetup 2.3.1 .....exe" is a "trojan", and therefore blocked.
