HELP!! Threat Detected Warning!!

[wapitikev]

I take that back AVG was one that reported no problem.

AVG version 9.0.0.836

What version is reporting the problem for you?

I'm running 9.0.893 of AVG...slightly newer (although not too much).

Thanx, Gruñón:

WHat is the file size of msvcr90.dll in your DVDFab directory?

-Wapiitkev

[wapitikev]

There are a number of msvcr90.dll files on my PCs...all of them except the DVDFab one reports the file size at 641KB.

The DVD FAB one reports as 614KB.

There is a very good chance that Heuristics is catching the different file size and saying WHOA!

-Wapitikev

Impressive!

What are your file details (size, date and path/location)?

I just finished running a check with 41 virus checkers and they found 0 problems.
AVG was not one of the 41.

Even AVG has no information when you click the "More information about this threat..." link in the alert.

Yup same here DVD Fab will not start and when I reinstall it AVG comes up with a threat alert..... Any word on this yet??? This is on the latest beta version.

[wapitikev]

No hits on Google, Yahoo or Bing.

Still looking.

-Wapitikev

[wapitikev]

Reasons I suspect that it is a false positive:

The new definition flags it.
Several people here are reporting the same problem all of a sudden.
AVG says that "...may be infected by an unknown virus...". The key words here are "may" and "unknown"
The virus that is named is not coming up with any hits (yet) on search engines.

However, both my machines are internet attached, so if a mod can verify, off a non-internet attached machine, the accurate file details then we can start comparing them to what we have.

This is my first post but I have been a DVDFab user for a few years now. Up until just a few minutes ago, never had a single problem. I just tried to open the program. Got the same threat detected message from AVG ad uninstalled and reinstalled twice with no different results. This sucks. Anyone have a workaround ?

[wapitikev]

Processlibrary reports that the msvcr90.dll is part of Microsoft Visual Studio.

Can a mod verify that this file is a legit DVDFAB file and the date, size and correct file location it should have?

Still researching.

-Wapitikev

[wapitikev]

Yup, my last update was about 12 minutes ago...I'd be surprised if it was a true positive...doing some more digging on the threat before I press ignore. Will post back.

Can't open DVDFab because of virus threat

Just tried to open DVDFab (which I used earlier today) and AVG popped up with a message of THREAT DETECTED:

file MSVCR90.dll which the program needs to access is listed as containing possible threat WIN32/DH.CAFF82037E

I've uninstalled the program, downloaded it again from the site and still get the same message when installing it.

Anyone else run into this????

Yes! Same exact problem. Ditto call for help!
