Trojan in NSIS 2.14 !?
Hello,

We've been doing some tests lately with NSIS and this morning I downloaded the 2.14 release from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=15374
for my computer.
What was my surprise, after installing it, when I found out that the file 'zilb' in 'stubs' was infected by Win32/SillyDL.1gl!Trojan .
I also found out that ALL setup made with this version are also infected...
I'm using Etrust Anti-virus and for so long it's quite accurate.
Could someone tell me I'm wrong and that a bunch of app out there are not infected :(

I also checked the lastest release (2.17) a it seems fine...for now.
Also note that we've been using release 2.14 since 2 monthes now and the trojan has been detected only since this week-end. I guess it might be a mistake but.... :)

thank you

Seems to be a problem with NSIS and a lot of anti-virus software. It is yet another false positive. You need to tell Etrust about the issue.

Ok, got an answer from Etrust, the file is no longer seen as a trojan and everything is working fine now :)

thanks
