AVG Anti-Virus detects that "iPodService.exe" is a trojan.

Detection Name: Trojan Horse IRC/Back Door.SdBot4.ADKD
Description: C:/Program Files/iPod/bin.iPodSerive.exe [5540]

Misc9700,
That is the same question posted on AVG's Forum by me,trying to receive answer. If you will to the actual post, you will see that I have spent an entire day trying to make sure that I have gotten rid of it. Not sure. So, unless I get an answer by early tomorrow, I will be paying my computer guy to come check it out! Hopeful, an answer will be found to save me the expense & him the trouble.
Just wanted to make sure you realized that the Trojan horse was NOT removed completely.
Apple, any help here will be greatly appreciated. It seems that ONLY AVG is having this trouble of finding this particular Trojan horse. Ideas?

When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG.

How to return to previous version of Firefox that is compatible with AVG Anti-virus.

I just upgraded to Firefox 6(?) as instructed when I logged-in, and now my AVG anti-virus doesn't work. I have paid for it and need it to work. You had no warning about this on the screen for the update. So you need to tell me how to go back to the previous version of Firefox. (I searched your support site, and found notice that this incompatibility is indeed true, but not about what to do, except to stop using Firefox.) Please help. ASAP.

Web-browsers supported by Kaspersky PURE 3.0 is "Mozilla Firefox 12.х - 23.x."

So two options
*wait for update
*Downgrade to 23 (not recommended)

My anti-virus detects jdeveloper.exe as a Trojan

Hello there
I am using free Avira-Antivir and now i just cant use my jdeveloper Studio because on every try to launch it the anti virus alerts me and shows that jdeveloper.exe is a Trojan (Virus: TR/Dropper.Gen ) I had jdev10133, i removed it and after i downloaded jdev10134 and the same result. How do i fix the problem, is my computer infected or should i remove the antivirus?
Thx

I downloaded oracle data modeller (datamodeling-1.5.1-525-no-jre.zip) today and made a virus scan on the file and yes there is TR/Dropper.Gen virus inside.
Of course i think its false alarm but its still there.
Here you can go on oracle page and download it http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/Modeling.html
My virus tool is avira antivir premium.

Anyone else gotten an anti-virus warning that Adobe file "Droplet Template.exe" is a Trojan?

Got this warning for the first time today -- my anti-virus prevented "droplet template.exe" from opening because it is seen as a Trojan.

This is from Vipre Threat Track after having received my file droplet template.exe for inspection:
We have received and tested the sent file 'Droplet_Template.exe' but it was not detected as a threat by Vipre. Please update Vipre to definitions 30465 or higher to verify on your end.
Let us know of the results. Thanks and have a great day ahead.
I had Vipre scan the file after I applied the latest updates and it was not seen as a risk. I have Vipre set to check for updates every 30 minutes, so not sure how they got outdated. They are now 30474.

Sophus anti virus detected troj/upatre-jl and cleanup failed. how to manually remove?

My Sophus Anti Virus detected "troj-upatre-jl" and the cleanup failed from quarantine manager.
It says manual cleanup is required and I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Need help!

Either it detected nothing at all, or it detected Windows malware in an email attachment. The malware will have no effect as long as you don't pass it on to anyone else or run it yourself in Windows.
Remove the useless, time-wasting Sophos product by following the instructions on this page, and also this one, if applicable. If you have a different version, the procedure may be different.
Back up all data before making any changes.

AVG anti virus problems

Any one else having a problem with AVG anti virus or is it just me ? I’ve hear its stopped working for some people. It’s not working right for me at all, as of this morning I have been getting a lot of errors from it every time I try to open a new webpage on Firefox. I get a Connection Rest and have to refresh. Offten more then once.
It keep coming up constantly and its extremely annoying and its hard to get any work done. It’s the only anti virus that I have so I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
I have the Firefox 3.5 and AVG antivirus 8.5, Win XP
Error code
szName avgnxexe
SzModver 2.5.0.3200
SzAppver 8.5.0.401
Offset 00003719

I have read in several places that AVG and firefox do not play well together. I found this on AVG's website. Does any of this help?

Comodo anti-virus detected the file hi.bat

Comodo anti-virus detected the file C:\Toshiba\Drivers\hi.bat as unclassified Malware-risk High.
I don't no what to do. Delete?
I need some help please.

Hi
The antivirus scanner has detected this file which is classified as Malware-risk high.
Either you would delete this file or would add it to the quarantine.
But these options are provided by Antivirus as well

Can my AVG anti-virus check on websites be re-enabled?

My anti virus program, AVG, was checking each website as I accessed them. It also checked the sights as I posted them in the Google program.
When I downloaded Firefox version 5, that feature was disabled. If it can be restored, I'll download 5 again. Otherwise I'll use version 4, or go back to another browser. I don't want to have to do that, because I like Firefox.

Currently there's no known virus affecting iPad as long as you don't Jailbreak your iPad.

Anti virus - detect and delete - in Snow leopard

Hello
They say Snow Leopard has excellent built in anti-virus software, but I'm not sure. I just taken a job to the printer and his PC virus detection said I had serious virus problems on my Mac.
This seems likely, and could explain the problems I've been having with OS applications like Fontbook - it's so slow it's useless. And Adobe CS3 is also playing up, I have to force quit programs, they work OK for a while, then the most basic elements of the application fail (like quiting, and cropping in Photoshop).
I have spoken to Adobe (useless) and I have reinstalled the OS, and CS3.
How can I check and eliminate a worm or virus from my HD and external backup HD.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
John

I'm with you there. I had been running OS 10.4.11 with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Now I have Snow Leopard and CS3. And, the ONLY reason I upgraded to Snow Leopard was to use the iLife suite, which has some software I need. Now there are problems all over the place. I can't use some of the CS3 plugins that I paid good money for, CS3 has a strange artifact that shows up every time it opens (fortunately the artifact doesn't print), video downloads through Firefox, Chrome or Safari have numerous cache issues, startup is slow, some apps crash randomly, and Word doesn't function properly (don't chastise me on using Word. I have to use it.) I've even installed the proper updates and reinstalled CS3 (like you, I can't afford CS5 yet -- starving artist, you know.)
I am VERY disappointed in Snow Leopard (not to mention Apple support). Macs used to be the machine to beat when it came to bugs and crashes. Now a Mac is just like any PC -- you never know what's going to happen.

Anti-virus software that won't effect my computer's performance.

Hi guys,
I'm a college student and my University requires that every computer on the network have anti-virus software. Just to use the internet a scan is run everyday to check to make sure you have the software. I got Norton free from my school but it has really slowed down my computer. I'm wondering if there are any good free programs that won't hinder my performance?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Drew

Hi AML225;
Try ClamXav. It is free and runs will on Macs.
Norton even for free is terrible on a Mac. It causes more problems then it solves.

Whats the best Mal-ware and anti virus program that will check all of programs and see if there's anything hanging around from surfing

asdaa

I will dissent. For a one time scan you could run Sophos. It will probably only pick up something meant for Windows, if at all, and it may throw a false positive at you, so don't be in a hurry to delete anything. I see you're running 10.8, which has some built in protection, but since it's an '09, you probably migrated stuff over from an earlier OS or Mac and it's also possible you weren't (or haven't been) observing safe browsing techniques, so it may find something genuine.
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition.aspx
For the Sophos forum in order to get more help, if needed.
http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/MacTalk/ct-p/FTT_MAC
When done, you can leave it if it's not causing any problems (but not set to auto scan) or uninstall it.
http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Removing-Sophos-An ti-Virus-for-Mac-Home-Edition/td-p/37/page/7
And don't let any A-V allow you to become complacent. It's only going to find something already catalogued, but it won't find any brand new threats.
Also, make sure you do not run Java (not JavaScript) in the browser. (Or just don't install the plugin, to begin with.) That would be asking for big trouble. Java is buggy and relentlessly exploited by malware.
Also, pay attention to updates in all your most used applications, Flash included.

Firefox 4.0.1. is having problems with AVG anti-virus and overall hangs, crushes often

Dear Firefox
Why do you upgrade my Firefox 4 browser to this trash, glitchy version of 4.0.1?
I'll delete it, reinstall older version Firefox 4 or even 3.6 and will disable automatic update and installation. If not successful I'll switch to another browser altogether.
Here is why. First of all it is not working good with Avira (When I use Firefox Avira almost always runs AV Guard which is eating 50% of operating memory and slowing down the work of computer significantly).
Then I switched to AVG antivirus. The antivirus seemed good until I opened my Firefox - it began to crash on particular sites, displaying error and forced shutdowns. Crashes happened many times on front pages of facebook.com and yandex.ru.
OK, I lost a day figuring out what went wrong and changed antivirus from AVG to Avast. With that I didn't have problems working on Firefox 4, but today it was automatically upgraded to 4.0.1 and started to crash again.
I suspect this problem has something to do with glitches in Firefox browser, not virus or malware issues.
Can anyone clarify why our browsers were automatically upgrade to such glitchy version?
My brother has Opera and his browser never ever crashed or hanged. Why?

PS: did i mention that I am not able to access my online banking, etc? i apologize for the cranky tone of this post, but i am really desperate and need quick assistance in how to remove the current version of firefox and reload the last one.

Program interfearing with the AVG Anti virus

I was half sleep when I finally got AVG installed on my computer and wasn't paying attention to the warning about a program that had a bug in it that would mess with the Antivirus program
I think it was called the Rosco Easy DVD and CD Creator but far to my knowledge I've never even used it. I use Nero.
Not that I can even find the Rosco on the computer with the search feature so I am probably not looking in the right place or under the right name. If at all possible instead of updating it like the AVG website suggested I rather just have it uninstalled since I don’t use it.
Any one know how to take it off much less find it ? I’m not very inept around technology, I've had my DVD player for three years and I still don't know how to program it.
Not that I can even use Nero right now since my DVD\CD RWR is not working any way.

You can add an exception to AVG Antivirus. Heres how:
Double click on your AVG icon on the desktop.
Click on Tools at the Menu Bar, And then click "Advanced Settings"
Find Resident Shield, and click on Exceptions.
You
are now at the directory exclude area. Click on Add Path. Use the Path
Finder to browse to the directory of the program where the false positive
is being detected. Once you find the folder your program is in, click it,
and click OK. Now click OK to get out of the screens

Nokia Suite Flagged as Malware by AVG anti-virus

Nokia Suite:
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/product/nokia-pc-suite
Attempted installation on Windows XP, SP3.
AVG (current version) flags the installer as malware and stops the installation process. AVG then forces a cancelation of the installation, and a system restart in order to remove the segments of the installer it thinks is a worm.
I suspect that this is a false positive but the Nokia web site is silent on this problem, i.e it does not guarantee it to be malware or spyware free, and does not recommend turning your AV off in order to install it.
I am not inclined to turn it off.
Nokia, as the developer, needs to contact AVG (Grissoft) to resolve the problem.

>> RE: Barking up the wrong tree...
I would humbley disagree.
As you can see from the additional threads, both AVG and Avast are showing the problem, and it is due to a segment of the program that is setting something to run at Windows launch. As postulated by another poster, that is unnecessary.
Applications and AV programs that are incompatible are not uncommon. Firefox regularly declares AVG's add-ons to be incompatible when there is a Firefox update. AVG then issues an update and all is well. This is due to Firefox's date coding for its add-oins and extensions, and not due to a true issue with incompatibility. The adept user of Firefox can over-ride these or simply wait for the updates.
Ideally, the Nokia installer would have a pre-amble asking if you want to have their PC Suite load when Windows Starts as a part of the end-user dialogue. This allows the user to say "no" and that segment of the installer would be skipped, and not trigger the AV program(s).
Alternately, now that this is known, and hopefully someone flags it to Nokia via this forum, appropriate wording can be added to the Nokia web site stating that it may trigger some AV programs and to shut them off. I have also reported this in the AVG user forums as well.
Frankly speaking, the only reason I was attempting to try the Nokia PC Suite was to have an alternative to that gastly bloatware called "Zune."
