trojan virus malware
Hi there

I released my product using an NSIS installer last night and have been getting reports of antivirus software detecting malware in the installer. I can't reproduce it myself, so I'm sorry if the details are a bit thin, but here it is.

Based on what I have read this follows the 'false positive' pattern. The trojan detected is psw.lineage.pq. The module is InstallOptions.dll. The antivirus program is 'AVG antivirus pro version 7.5'.

I've tried uploading it to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and it came up clean. So I'm assuming that the problem has already been fixed and my users need to update their definitions?

cheers
Tim


The problem has been fixed.

AVG 7.5 with the 268.15.14/578 virus database (released at 01:27 on 7/12/06) is OK with IntallOptions.dll (no trojan detected)
